WWE’s New Goal Is For NXT To Beat AEW Dynamite In Key Demo

The Wednesday Night Wars might not be over yet as WWE still has some internal goals involving NXT surpassing AEW’s television numbers.

On a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE officials have set a new goal for the NXT brand, and that is for the weekly NXT show to surpass AEW Dynamite in the 18-34 demographic.

WWE NXT TV numbers have been stronger than usual of late. In the last three weeks, the show drew over 700,000 viewers and a 0.20 rating in the P18-49 key demo.

While NXT didn’t beat AEW Dynamite in the 18-34 demo last week, the WWE show almost beat AEW the week before.

The July 25th edition of WWE NXT averaged 703,000 viewers and a 0.23 rating in the P18-49 key demo. In comparison, the July 26th episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 898,000 viewers and a 0.29 rating in the P18-49 key demo.
