All Elite Wrestling has officially won the first installment of the “Wednesday Night War” and it wasn’t even close.
The debut episode of AEW Dynamite pulled in 1.4 million viewers. That’s considerably more than NXT did in its first week (1.179 million) without any other wrestling competition. As far as NXT goes, it wound up doing 891,000 viewers this week.
What is really impressive is that Dynamite managed to pull in 878,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic while NXT only had 414,000 in that age range. That’s more than double in the favor of AEW, and AEW nearly outdrew NXT with just that demographic alone. Now WWE’s reaction of congratulating AEW on their successful debut makes a bit more sense.
