Saturday Night’s Main Event draws 1.494M viewers

January 28, 2025 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

This past Saturday Night’s Main Event from San Antonio drew 1.494 million viewers per Wrestlenomics. The telecast drew a rating of 0.33 in the A18-49 demo.

It was the second event of the WWE reboot from the 1980s. The telecast was down from December’s re-debut by 21% in the A18-49.

The telecast went up against the NBA on ABC featuring the Lakers and Warriors. The game drew over 3 million viewers and a 0.7 rating in the A18-49 demo.

Saturday Night’ s Main Event featured Gunther defeating Jay Uso of the main event. Rhea Ripley beating Nia Jax was the opener and the telecast also featured a faceoff between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens with Shawn Michaels.

College Basketball on ESPN and the NBA game may have detracted viewers, or it could have been an instance where this event was not promoted as heavily as the first one in december.

People who do martial arts will laugh and tell me it’s fake. But then I ask them why they do martial arts? 😉

I should point out that according to those at TKO that the ESPN/MVPW boxing deal is a revenue sharing agreement similar to the original AEW/Turner deal in 2019 and not a full paying media rights deal which Top Rank had and wasn't renewed.
