Last week’s Dynamite episode drew 766,000 viewers and ranked #25 in the Cable Top 150, and #75 in viewership, so the audience was up 22%. Last week’s NXT episode drew 697,000 viewers and ranked #42 in the Cable Top 150, and #83 in viewership.
This is the lowest NXT viewership since the show began airing on the USA Network during Wednesday nights last fall.
AEW drew a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic, topping the 0.16 rating that NXT drew in the same demo this week by 119%. Last week’s AEW show drew a 0.26 rating while the NXT episode drew a 0.21 in that demographic.
Both shows were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic this week. NXT aired with hosts Tom Phillips and Triple H introducing pre-recorded interviews with NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor at the WWE Performance Center, with no matches and no crowd. Dynamite was moved from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, NY to the home base of Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL, with matches but no live audience, except for a few wrestlers sitting in to help provide some crowd noise.
