AEW continued to outdraw NXT in 2020 in live-and-same-night-DVR viewership, with 828,000 viewers for AEW Dynamite compared to 712,000 viewers for NXT on USA. AEW also held its lead in all key demographics, with a 0.34 to 0.22 rating lead among adults 18-49, a 0.48 to 0.28 rating among men 18-49, a 0.30 to 0.19 rating lead among men 18-45. The overall cable rating was close, with a 0.59 for AEW and a 0.58 for NXT.

The stronger demographic rating for AEW placed it at no. 3 for the night among all cable shows in the adult 18-49 demo with it’s 0.34 rating. NXT’s 0.22 rating didn’t make the top 25 list, which was dominated by shows scoring a 0.30 demo rating or higher.

AEW Dynamite has dropped every week in January, although by relatively small margins going from 967,000 same night viewers on Jan. 1 to 947l000, 940,000, 871,000, and 828,000 since.

(We obviously don’t have this week’s +3 numbers yet.) NXT the last three weeks in the +3 viewership numbers has been more ready with 899,000 for the Jan. 8 show, 903,000 for the Jan. 15 show, and 961,000 for the Jan. 22 show.

  1. Great way to hide the fact that CodyEW is down over 14% in a month and no end to the decline in site.

    Too much Indy crap. Too much vanity nonsense. Pushing WWE mid card characters down the fans throats. Yawn.
