NXT dropped to 590,000, down from 669,000, only the fourth time the series has dropped below 600,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>AEW edged NXT with 0.51 cable rating compared to 0.50.<\/p>\n<p>In the 18-49 demographic, AEW dropped to no. 37 in Wednesday night cable rankings with a 0.25 rating. NXT didn&#8217;t finish in the top 50 with its 0.15 rating. Cable news shows dominated the charts last night, with 34 of the top 50 programs in the 18-49 demo being held by CNN, Fox, and MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, while AEW&#8217;s live and same-night-DVR viewership is down, the viewers are showing up within three days. The average viewership after three days of delayed viewing in March was 1.06 million, in line with February&#8217;s average of 1.08 and only 107,000 down from January&#8217;s average of 1.13 million. After seven days, AEW viewership in March&#8217;s first three weeks averaged 1.09 million, not far off February&#8217;s 1.16 million and January&#8217;s 1.17 million. Last night&#8217;s same-night viewership, though, is down sharply from the prior weeks, so it&#8217;s unlikely the seven-day numbers will hold up as well.<\/p>\n<p>NXT&#8217;s three-day viewership in March was 782,000, down from 883,000 in March and 857,000 in January. NXT&#8217;s seven-day viewership was 789,000 the first three weeks of March, down from 927,000 in February and 877,000 in January.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/03\/31\/wwe-raw-ratings-report-viewership-dips-again-for-empty-arena-show-with-past-matches-solo-promos-final-wrestlemania-hype\/\">WWE Raw Ratings Report: Viewership dips again for empty-arena show with past matches, solo promos, final WrestleMania hype<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3441559622\"><div id=\"pwtor-2890409304\"><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 viewership for AEW Dynamite and NXT on USA both took at tumble, with AEW dropping to a near-series-low of 685,000 viewers (live and same-night-DVR), down from 823,000 last week.
