Eric Bischoff Predicts WWE NXT Will Outperform AEW Dynamite

It’s only a matter of time before WWE NXT outperforms AEW Dynamite in the ratings, according to Eric Bischoff.

In 2019, the two programs began a war for ratings that AEW would usually win and this war only ended with NXT’s move to Tuesday nights.

On his “Strictly Business” podcast, Bischoff discussed the recent success of WWE’s gold brand, which has seen an increase in viewers. He said,

“People have to remember. NXT is a developmental organization. It isn’t [WWE’s] biggest, brightest stars as it is with AEW — you see their top talent on that show regularly. NXT is a developmental company and I wouldn’t expect it to get [these] kind of ratings with people who are trying to become stars as it will get when it has people who are established stars on the show.

“At some point in time, NXT is going to outperform Dynamite and they’re within about 100,000 viewers or less of doing that. I predicted it would happen this summer [and] I’m gonna stick with that.”

The most recent NXT garnered 776,000 viewers and was headlined by NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio defending against Dragon Lee.
