AEW Dynamite Viewership Up With Full Gear Fallout, WWE NXT Viewership Also Rises
Week 57 of the Wednesday Night War saw AEW Dynamite defeat WWE NXT in viewership and ratings.
Wednesday's post-Full Gear edition of Dynamite drew 764,000 viewers (+6.6% from last week) on TNT, topping the 632,000 viewers (+3.6%) garnered by last night's NXT on the USA Network by 21%, according to Showbuzz Daily.
AEW ranked #17 in the Cable Top 150, while NXT ranked #68. AEW ranked #62 in viewership, while NXT ranked #74 in viewership.
Last week's Full Gear go-home edition of Dynamite drew 717,000 viewers and ranked #56 in the Cable Top 150, and #67 in viewership. Last week's NXT episode drew 610,000 viewers and ranked #68 in the Cable Top 150, and #72 in viewership. Both shows were impacted last week by coverage of the US Presidential Election.
AEW drew a 0.30 rating (no change from last week) in the 18-49 demographic while NXT drew a 0.16 (+14.3%) in the same demo this week. Last week's AEW show also drew a 0.30 rating while the NXT episode drew a 0.14 in that demographic.
This week's NXT numbers are pretty standard outside of the recent Halloween Havoc episode. The same goes for AEW, but this week's show was down 21% from last year's post-Full Gear episode. NXT was down 16% from the same week last year.
Tucker Carlson Tonight on FOX News topped the night in the 18-49 demographic on the Cable Top 150, with a 0.56 rating. Tucker Carlson Tonight also topped the night on cable in viewership with 4.667 million viewers.
Chicago Med on NBC topped the night on network TV in viewership with an average of 7.834 million viewers. The Masked Singer on FOX took the #1 spot in the 18-49 demographic with a 1.6 rating.
