It took 8 weeks but
WWE NXT has finally defeated
AEW Dynamite in viewership.
Wednesday's AEW
Dynamite on TNT drew 893,000 viewers while
NXT drew 916,000 viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.
This is the best
NXT viewership since the official two-hour USA premiere on October 2. The first two
NXT USA episodes had just one hour air on cable, and they drew 1.179 million viewers and 1.006 million viewers. The
NXT viewership is likely up due to fans expecting top RAW and SmackDown Superstars to appear for the final
Survivor Series build on NXT. As noted, top main roster stars such as Seth Rollins, RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, The Revival, and others appeared.
AEW ranked #8 in the Cable Top 150, while
NXT ranked #14. AEW ranked #36 in viewership, while
NXT ranked #35 in viewership.
