Wednesday night saw a direct head-to-head battle as the AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts viewership came out on top against a special Wednesday edition of NXT.
With NXT shifting off its traditional Tuesday slot due to election coverage, both promotions went toe-to-toe on November 4 with major television specials.
Dynamite Ratings and Key Demo Rise
The Blood & Guts special edition of Dynamite pulled in an average of 792,000 viewers on TBS:
- Viewership Increase: The total audience figure rose significantly from the 620,000 viewers drawn during the October 28 broadcast, which competed directly against the MLB World Series.
- Key Demo Peak: The broadcast scored a 0.24 rating in the 18–49 demographic, marking the program’s highest rating in the key demographic in over two years.
- Streaming Factors: Digital metrics for simultaneous streaming on HBO Max remain unquantified.
NXT Wednesday Viewership Performance
Over on The CW Network, WWE NXT drew an average of 552,000 viewers opposite the extended TBS special.
The developmental brand posted a 0.13 rating in the 18–49 demographic. The Wednesday broadcast loaded up its card with main roster star power, featuring appearances by John Cena and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, along with CM Punk challenging for the NXT Championship.
Despite NXT‘s star-studded lineup, Dynamite maintained its lead behind a card anchored by both the men’s and women’s Blood & Guts steel cage matches.
