The eight-week average was 644,000 heading into this week.<\/p>\n<p>NXT actually won the rating 0.58 to 0.57. The rating tracks the total number of viewers each minute over the course of the whole show as a percentage of available viewers with cable. Total viewership reflects how many individuals total watched the show at all, so AEW&#8217;s viewership win is likely the result of a lot of short-term viewers, perhaps many from AEW, checking out the show briefly.<\/p>\n<p>AEW dominated the 18-34 male demo again by a 0.21 to 0.10 margin.<\/p>\n<p>AEW finished no. 4 for the night among all cable shows in the 18-49 adult key demo.
