AEW Dynamite scored another ratings victory over WWE NXT this Wednesday night, meaning the upstart promotion has now outdone WWE's most critically acclaimed brand for 10 consecutive weeks.

Dynamite's average viewership came in at 906,000 across its two hours. This is a 4.7% increase on the previous week's 865,000 and just above the show's average number since launching in October, which sits at 896,200.

NXT, meanwhile, saw a slight jump to 718,000 after scoring 717,000 on 26 February.

As always, the Nielsen ratings' industry-accepted 10% margin of error must be taken into account.

In terms of the 18-49 demographic, AEW once again won out with a 0.35 rating. NXT came in at 0.23. Dynamite trumped the WWE show in every demo apart from viewers aged over 50 years old, where the two shows tied at 0.34.

Both of this week's shows benefitted from tremendous marketing, with NXT built around two huge cage matches and Dynamite benefiting from the Revolution pay-per-view's near-universal acclaim. It's clear that AEW has the momentum at the moment, though this could change as WWE amp things up on the road to WrestleMania 36, where Rhea Ripley will compete against Charlotte Flair.
