Wednesday’s head-to-head programming between AEW and NXT saw an interesting outcome with each show doing identical figures in overall viewers.
Both shows averaged 778,000 viewers for their respective programs with AEW down 8.5% and NXT dropping 8% from last week.
For total viewers, it was AEW’s third-lowest to date trailing the October 30th and November 27th (Thanksgiving Eve) editions of Dynamite.
It was offset for AEW by winning all the key demos except for adults over 50 after NXT won three categories in last week’s programming.
With viewers in the 18-49 demo, AEW was 11th on the night among cable programming with a 0.28 and down 12.5% from last week. NXT did a 0.24 and dropped 17%.
In the key demos, AEW was down 27% among females 18-49, down 20% with males 12-34, and 18% among females 12-34.
The larger drops were experienced by NXT falling 33% with both females 18-49 and 12-34 while people 18-34 dropped 30% – the latter being a demo they edged over AEW last week by 0.01.
Between both shows, the only demo that didn’t fall was NXT’s over 50 audience that was identical to last week with a 0.38.
