The current ten-week rolling average is 632,000.<\/p>\n<p>This has to be considered on the higher range of realistic expectations for the move from USA Network to The CW. The audience found the show and more people watched than previously could. It was the highest viewership on The CW since &#8220;The Critics Choice Awards&#8221; in January.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, AEW&#8217;s Grand Slam special episode last week drew 702,000 and has a ten-week rolling average headed into this week of 687,000. So, the move to The CW, even if viewership drops 10-15 percent starting next week, will easily be the no. 3 rated weekly first-run series in terms of total audience, sending AEW Dynamite to no. 4. It has what is turning out to be an advantage by being on a broadcast channel rather than a cable network. This is just one week, though, and viewership could sink dramatically over the next few weeks if people who watched last night who weren&#8217;t watching on USA Network end up unimpressed with the product.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;PWT Talks NXT&#8221; with Kelly Wells and Nate Lindberg, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/pwt-talks-nxt-wells-lindberg-discuss-trick-williams-on-top-of-the-mountain-again-cora-jade-returning-as-another-pest-for-giulia-more--62190482\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=62190482&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>One year ago this week, NXT drew 857,000 viewers.
