[Kemo]

AEW Dynamite scored a big win over WWE NXT this week in total viewers and the key Adults 18-49 demographic.

Here’s this week’s quick breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:

• AEW: 845,000 viewers, 0.32 rating (5th on cable for the night)
• NXT: 615,000 viewers, 0.17 rating (35th on cable for the night)

This marks 3 consecutive weeks that AEW viewership increased and NXT decreased. It was the biggest margin for AEW in quite some time.

Brutal beating this week. Outside of 50+, AEW not only won every demo but almost doubled every demo. 18-49 was 0.32 for AEW and 0.17 for NXT.
