How in the world did Dark Order gain viewers?

AEW breakdown:
  • 1,001,000 viewers for Private Party vs. Lucha Bros
  • +38,000 viewers for SCU vs. Dark Order
  • -131,000 viewers for Kenny Omega vs. Joey Janela (2 commercials)
  • +83,000 viewers for Jericho/Cody crossover & start of Bucks/BFs
  • -82,000 viewers for end of Bucks/BFs and start of Baker/Hayter
  • -7,000 viewers for end of Baker/Hayter
  • +34,000 viewers for Moxley/PAC
NXT breakdown:
  • 800,000 viewers for Rhea/Bianca, lost 24,000 by the time it was over
  • -27,000 viewers for Riddle/Grimes (2 commercials)
  • -124,000 viewers for Fashion Police/Swerve vs. Forgotten Sons (2 commercials)
  • +20,000 viewers for Gallagher vs. Garza
  • +33,000 viewers for Kai/Nox vs. Duke/Shafir
  • -43,000 viewers for Strong/Dijakovic/Lee
  • +126,000 viewers for the overrun
Main events head-to-head were 936,000 vs. 635,000 for AEW.

Interesting that NXT is actually down from what USA was getting in viewers last year in the same slot. I wonder how the demo compares.


NXT also did well with women. It had a 0.09 in 12-17 (down 35.7%), 0.13 in 18-34 (down 7.1%), 0.29 in 35-49 (up 11.5%) and 0.33 in 50+ (down 5.7%). AEW more than doubled NXT in teenagers, tripled them in 18-34, beat them by 76% in 35-49. NXT beat AEW by 32% with over 50. NXT also had 54.8% men in 18-49 and 40.8% men in 12-17. AEW’s median viewer age was 39.9 years old, much younger than last week (five years). NXT’s was 52.2 years, down two.

In teenagers, AEW had a huge jump during SCU vs. Dark Order, possibly because of the introduction of the Inner Circle. It dropped after that but came back up for Young Bucks vs. Best Friends and dropped again for Baker vs. Hayter. SCU vs. Dark Order peaked, then the show dropped and came back for PAC vs. Moxley in 18-34. In 18-49, SCU vs. Dark Order was the peak and it came back for Jericho/Cody and the Bucks match. SCU vs. Dark Order also doubled teenage girls, which grew for Baker vs. Hayter and Pac vs. Moxley. 35-49 women were strong for SCU vs. Dark Order and Jericho/Cody, as well as the Bucks but not Baker/Hayter or PAC/Moxley. Male teens were strong for the Bucks match, males were strong 18-34 for SCU/Dark Order and came back for Moxley/PAC, but dropped off during Baker/Hayter. Males 35-49 were strong for Baker/Hayter (242,000) and Jericho/Cody (232,000). Over 50 was strong for SCU/Dark Order, Jericho/Cody and the start of the Bucks match.

With NXT, teenage girls stuck around for the women’s matches but left after the second one, with the number halved for the main event. Women 18-34 dropped through the whole show except during the women’s tag match, same as women 35-49. Teenage boys were up for Riddle/Grimes and down for Gallagher/Garza. Men 18-34 were up for Riddle/Grimes, but dropped until the women’s tag match. Men 35-49 peaked with Riddle vs. Grimes.

In the same time slots last year, USA Network had 755,000 viewers (NXT is down) and TNT had 486,000 viewers (AEW is almost double that).

Anything from Raw? I assume Smackdown will be available over the weekend, @GKJ

AEW was up to 150,700 viewers in Canada with no Leafs competition, but the World Series ratings in Canada were close to Leafs numbers. AEW is HUGE in Canada. That’s the equivalent of 1.5m viewers in America in the TV industry.

For comparisons sake, Raw did 169,800 (Leafs competition) and Smackdown did 125,800.

AEW beat Smackdown in Canada?

That shocks me.

Week 4 sees a RAW bump, AEW and NXT decline. However, AEW is the only one with a rise in the key demographic.

SD numbers should be out in a couple grows. SD has seen a massive decline in the previous weeks, so it'll be really interesting to see if that continues.

Week 1:
RAW- 2.571M | 0.86
AEW- 1.409M | 0.68
NXT- 0.891M | 0.32
SD- 3.888M | 1.0

Week 2:
RAW- 2.334M (-237K) | 0.76
AEW- 1.018M (-391K) | 0.46
NXT- 0.790M (-101K) | 0.22
SD- 2.898M (-990K) | 0.70

Week 3:
RAW- 2.280M (-54K) | 0.74
AEW- 1.014M (-4K) } | 0.44
NXT- 0.712M (-78K) | 0.22
SD- 2.442M (-456K) | 0.75

Week 4:
RAW- 2.342 (+62K) | 0.73
AEW - 0.963M (-51K) | 0.45
NXT - 0.698M (-14K) | 0.21

Was a pretty expected drop. They were both going head to head with opening night of the NBA and the World Series. AEW gained slightly in the key demo which they are killing NXT in. TNT is probably over the moon with how it is performing right now.

Considering the competition, AEW going up in the key demo says a lot. That’s really great for them. NXT’s demo was also up by one point which is encouraging for them, although still nowhere near AEW’s number.


As for Smackdown, it’ll be a big drop but this one is an outlier since they were on FS1 this week.

Since SD aired on FS1, none of the regular sources have listed the ratings. Not sure where else to find them ;/

How many homes is FS1 in in america?


AEW beat them in the demo from what I see though.


Also I think Alvarez predicted they’d get 1.9m viewers or something lol
