AEW Dynamite last week drew a 0.44 in that demo.<\/p>\n<p>In the younger 18-34 male demo, it drew a 0.25 rating, up from 0.16 last week. AEW Dynamite last week drew a 0.29 in that demo.<\/p>\n<p>The overall adult cable rating (2+ years old viewrs) was 0.60. WWE Raw the night before drew a 0.91 cable rating. Those two numbers have never been so close before.<\/p>\n<p>This viewership boost for NXT points toward significant drawing power for Lynch and could indicate she should be given a more prominent role as a featured centerpiece babyface act on Raw or Smackdown.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3800174862\" 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<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/wrestlenomics\/posts\">Wrestlenomics<\/a>, the Stratton vs. Lynch main event averaged 927,000 viewers in Q4 and 1.061 million in the overrun., The show opened with 792,000 in Q1 and previously peaked at 856,000 in Q5 for the segment with Dominik.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/09\/12\/nxt-hits-misses-9-12-lynch-vs-stratton-lee-vs-dragunov-valkyria-vs-brooke-bate-vs-axiom-global-invitational-matches-more\/\">NXT HITS &amp; MISSES 9\/12: Lynch vs. Stratton, Lee vs. Dragunov, Valkyria vs. Brooke, Bate vs. Axiom, Global Invitational Matches, more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/09\/12\/nxt-tv-results-9-12-moores-review-of-tiffany-stratton-vs-becky-lynch-for-the-nxt-womens-title-wes-lee-vs-ilja-dragunov-for-a-shot-at-the-nxt-title-heritage-cup-tournament-matches\/\">NXT TV results (9\/12): Moore\u2019s review of Tiffany Stratton vs. Becky Lynch for the NXT Women\u2019s Title, Wes Lee vs. Ilja Dragunov for a shot at the NXT Title, Heritage Cup tournament matches<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>ALSO: Check out our new PWTorch Ratings Report section at links below\u2026<\/h3>\n<p data-inc=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vip.pwtorch.com\/category\/prowrestlingnews\/ratings\/\">VIP MEMBERS (ad-free website) CLICK HERE: RATINGS REPORTS<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3755208332\"><div id=\"pwtor-3566162867\"><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 NXT on USA Network drew an average of 850,000 viewers.
