WWE NXT Scores ANOTHER Ratings Boost Without AEW Competition

WWE NXT scored another great ratings night without direct competition from AEW Dynamite, as this week's special Super Tuesday episode notched increases in overall viewership and the key 18-49 demographic.

As far as the demo goes, NXT finished 10th for the night amongst cable shows, coming through with a 0.26 rating. This is up from the previous week's 0.24 and is the black and gold brand's highest number since last December.

The show's overall viewership was up as well, increasing 3% to an average of 849,000 across its two hours. This means that NXT has now broken the 800,000 mark on each of its three unopposed weeks.

From these numbers, it is abundantly clear that NXT would be much, much better off moving away from Wednesday nights, where it has been continually trounced by AEW in the key demographic, scoring only a handful of pithy futile "victories" in overall viewership since the War began last October.

Much of this week's NXT was built around a four-way Iron Man match for the vacant NXT Title, pitting Adam Cole, Finn Balor, Tommaso Ciampa, and Johnny Gargano against each other. Evidently, this had pull. Let's see how next week's Cole vs. Balor singles clash does.
