That was up big from last week&#8217;s 773,000. AEW headlined with Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin for the AEW World Hvt. Title.<\/p>\n<p>NXT on USA Network, meanwhile, also increased to 753,000, up from 707,000 last week. NXT headlined with Imperium defending the NXT Tag Team Tiltes against the return of Kyle O&#8217;Reilly &amp; Bobby Fish.<\/p>\n<p>AEW&#8217;s margin of total viewership lead was 148,000. The average difference for 2020 starting Jan 8 is 93,000 in AEW&#8217;s favor. Since March 25, the difference has been only 54,000.<\/p>\n<p>AEW drew a 0.31 rating among the male 18-34 demo, the same as what Raw drew on Monday. NXT, as usual, was well behind with a 0.11 rating. Demo ratings tend to fluctuate more, perhaps due to a smaller sample size. Nevertheless, AEW tying Raw in a key demo rating is noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of cable ratings, due to the difference in how total viewers are tallied compared to ratings (a percentage of available households watching), NXT drew a better rating (0.60) compared to AEW (0.58). Raw drew a 1.27 rating by comparison, but AEW has never been near the 50 percent mark in terms of its rating compared to Raw.<\/p>\n<p>In the male 18-49 demo, AEW drew a 0.45, NXT a 0.25. For comparison, Raw drew 0.62 in that demo, indicative of AEW&#8217;s strength by far being younger men (18-34) while WWE has a big advantage among 35-49 year old men.<\/p>\n<p>In the most closely tracked demo, 18-49 adults, AEW drew a 0.45 rating compared to NXT&#8217;s 0.20. Raw drew a 0.51 in that demo. That indicates Raw&#8217;s big viewership and ratings lead is dependent on the 50+ demo. AEW, if everything stays on course, would challenge WWE in more demo categories over the next five years unless younger viewers switched to WWE as they got older.<\/p>\n<p>We have the updated 7-day viewership totals from two weeks ago. AEW drew 1.097 million viewers the second week in a row they topped 1 million. The first three months of the year, AEW drew more than 1 million viewers after 7 days every week except for one week. Since then, they&#8217;ve only topped 1 million three times, including the last two weeks. NXT&#8217;s 7-day total was 774,000. Their average since the start of April is 821,000. The average the first three months of the year was 886,000 (excluding the Jan. 1 episode that was a different format on a holiday and drew a year-low viewership number).<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1735974738\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/08\/04\/wwe-monday-night-raw-ratings-increase-for-show-featuring-shane-mcmahons-raw-underground-and-mysterious-faction-disrupting-show-key-metrics\/\">WWE Raw ratings increase with Shane McMahon\u2019s Raw Underground and mysterious faction, key metrics<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2135261905\"><div id=\"pwtor-4261977064\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Last night&#8217;s episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT drew 901,000, its best live and same-night-DVR viewership since March 18, which was prior to the pandemic.
