AEW Dominates Ratings War with NXT This Week

After finishing in a virtual tie for viewers last week, All Elite Wrestling’s episode of Dynamite ratings easily outpaced WWE’s NXT episode for November 13.

AEW gained 135,000 viewers in a week to bounce back to 957,000 on Wednesday, causing its rating in the 18-49 age demographic to rise from .35 to .43 this week.

Meanwhile, NXT dropped 63,000 viewers from last week to wind up with 750,000. As a result, its 18-49 rating dropped from .30 to .25.

With its resurgence, Dynamite climbed into the top five original cable TV broadcasts in the 18-49 demographic overall. ESPN’s broadcast of two NBA games, Comedy Central’s episode of South Park and FX’s anthology series American Horror Story led the way for the night. WWE’s NXT show tumbled to 22nd in the 18-49 ratings.
