WWE NXT Tops AEW Dynamite In Viewership, Dynamite Garners Their Lowest Audience Yet

WWE NXT, which featured the fallout from the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view, which saw Team NXT dominate Team RAW and Team SmackDown, topped AEW Dynamite in viewership for the second week in a row.

Wednesday's AEW Dynamite on TNT drew 663,000 viewers while NXT drew 810,000 viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily, so NXT topped Dynamite by 22%. The numbers are just now coming out due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

This is the lowest AEW viewership since the show launched on October 4. The previous low was 789,000 viewers on October 30.

AEW ranked #15 in the Cable Top 150 for the 18-49 demo, while NXT ranked #19. AEW ranked #38 in total viewership, while NXT ranked #29.

Last week's Dynamite episode drew 893,000 viewers and ranked #8 in the Cable Top 150, and #36 in viewership, so the audience was down 26%. Last week's NXT episode drew 916,000 viewers and ranked #14 in the Cable Top 150, and #35 in viewership so it was down 11.6% from last week.

AEW drew a 0.26 rating in the 18-49 demographic while NXT drew a 0.24 in the same demo this week, so Dynamite topped NXT by only 8% whereas it had been by double and triple digits in prior weeks. Last week's AEW episode drew a 0.39 in that demographic while NXT drew a 0.30.
