Yesterday, AEW Dynamite aired a special edition of Beach Holidays at TNT. To compete, WWE has 2021 Royal Tournament winner Edge appearing on NXT. Aiji joked on the show that he would choose to play against NXT champion Finn Balor in WrestleMania 37. But surprisingly, the appearance of the beloved star didn't help NXT win the ratings war, which in turn was AEW's overwhelming victory.
According to foreign media professional reports, the number of viewers of "AEW" this week rose from 734,000 last week to 844,000, a sharp increase. NXT, on the other hand, saw a staggering drop in viewership this week, from 720,000 last week to 610,000. Compared with the previous week, the gap between the ratings of the two brands is about 110,000. Normally, NXT's ratings rise sharply when the superstar of the WWE brand appears on the black gold brand, but this week's efforts have not been beneficial to WWE.
Ironically, the viewership figures for the two brands have been fairly close in recent weeks. At the very least, the gap between the two brands seems to have narrowed, but this week's data suggests that AEW is still significantly ahead. AEW Dynamite finished third in the evening cable TV, while WWE NXT just missed out on the top 50! Among the most important key 18-49 year olds, AEW ranked first, with AEW Dynamite's number increasing from 0.29 to 0.32, while the main population of NXT fell to 0.15 from 0.21 last week.
The bad news for the black gold brand continued, with NXT failing to make it into the top 50 of cable TV, with the show finishing 51 that night. AEW, on the other hand, was third overall in the evening because NBA basketball and MTV's Challenge show kept AEW at the top of the cable tv charts that night. AEW Dynamite staged a much-anticipated six-man matchup, with Kenny Omega and the Egg Brothers playing Jon Moxley, PAC (Parker) and Rael Phoenix. At WWE NXT, in addition to Edge's appearance, Tommaso Chepa and Timothy Thatcher face Adam Cole and Roderick Strong's team match to end the day's show.
Editor's Conclusion: Well, in fact, this is the habit of NXT, two weeks later is the NXT to take over the big game - the day of revenge, NXT has been accustomed to the plot arrangement of major competitions before the competition, rather than focusing on the game, because recently NXT has been injured and too many people have been sucked out, for the competition can ensure smooth progress, so it will definitely slow down, I hope that old Fen will not be injured again and can defend the championship again! As for AEW, recently it has highlighted its cooperation with TNA, and yesterday there was also a former NXT superstar - Kenta Kobayashi, and attacked the current NJPW IWGP US champion Moxley with GTS, achieving three-party co-stage for the first time.
