The prior three weeks head-to-head with AEW Dynamite was 693,000. That&#8217;s a gain of 149,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, they achieved a similar gain over seven days, as the Aug. 19 episode drew 978,000 total viewers are seven days, an increase of 148,000 over the prior three week average.<\/p>\n<p>AEW viewership, by comparison is down, although the first two weeks it changed its timeslot, whereas NXT was in its usual place on Wednesday nights. Last night&#8217;s NXT rating is a victory for NXT because moving to a new night, a dropoff would have been understandable, if not expected, especially since it was still going against another first-run wrestling show on AXS TV &#8211; Impact Wrestling. The title situation with Karion Kross vacating the title might have helped them come up with a major match that helped pop a big rating this week.<\/p>\n<p>Impact Wrestling took a big hit, drawing 102,000 last night, down from the typical rating lately. The prior eight weeks averaged 155,000 viewers. Last week drew a 171,000 rating, the second biggest number since Slammiversary remade the roster. The low since them was 134,000 four weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>In the demo ratings, NXT has come on strong with an increase in the male 18-34 demo, drawing a 0.14 this week and a 0.18 last week, above the 0.11 it drew the prior five weeks in a row. In the 18-49 demo, it drew a 0.26 rating this week, up from the 0.24 rating last week. That was good for a top ten finish for NXT in the overall Tuesday cable rankings (no. 10 overall), behind an NBA playoff game that finished no. 1 with a 0.99 demo rating, and behind two\u00a0 NHL playoff games along with some reality series and news shows. It&#8217;s among NXT&#8217;s highest finishes yet. Perhaps a case is being made for NXT moving to Tuesday nights permanently, although some of this young male demo gain might carry over to Wednesday nights if the head-to-head with AEW resumes later this month.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/09\/01\/raw-rating-viewership-down-from-last-weeks-post-summerslam-spike-key-metrics-including-ranking-historical-comparisons-hourly-trend\/\">Raw Rating: Viewership down from last week\u2019s post-Summerslam spike, key metrics including ranking, historical comparisons, hourly trend<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1746299574\"><div id=\"pwtor-3649310300\"><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 NXT on USA rating, a special Tuesday edition headlined with the Four-Way Iron Man match for the vacated Impact Wrestling Title drew 849,000 viewers, in line with the unopposed Wednesday viewership of 853,000 <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/09\/02\/nxt-ratings-report-a-top-ten-finish-in-key-demo-despite-airing-on-a-new-night-how-many-viewers-it-pulled-from-impact-on-axs-key-metrics-on-viewership-gain-since-dynamite-moved-nights\/\" title=\"NXT Ratings Report: A top ten finish in key demo despite airing on a new night, how many viewers it pulled from Impact on AXS, key metrics on viewership gain since Dynamite moved nights\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,13,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_nxt","category-news_tna"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/NXTArena_3x2Parry.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103852"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103853,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103852\/revisions\/103853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
