The ratings are in for this week’s Wednesday Night Wars.
This Wednesday, August 12, 2020 episodes of AEW Dynamite and WWE NXT saw viewership take a significant drop compared to last week’s shows.
AEW Dynamite was down 12-percent in viewership on TNT this week, drawing 792,000 viewers, while WWE NXT took an even bigger dip, dropping 20-percent to 619,000 viewers.
The combined viewers for both shows was approximately 1.41 million, and was also the lowest total audience since the middle of June.
Competition wise, ratings were definitely tougher on 8/12 with a couple of NBA and NHL games each taking away viewers in the key demos that generally tune into the AEW and NXT shows on a weekly basis.
In the 18-49 year old demographic, AEW Dynamite continued its’ recent string of top-10 finishes with a number nine showing on the night (0.32 rating), while NXT was down to the number 65 spot, with a 0.16 rating.
