AEW Dynamite decisively beats NXT in the 18-34 demo

In the 18-49 demographic, AEW once again came out on top. This week, AEW saw a huge increase from a 0.26 rating to 0.42. That's the company's highest number in that crucial demographic this year. Meanwhile, NXT saw a decrease from last week. The show dropped from a 0.20 rating to 0.16. With NXT going up against a special episode of AEW Dynamite, this outcome was widely expected.

The most eye-opening victory in the demographic this week was in the male 18-34 group. There, AEW beat NXT 0.29 to 0.04. That wide gap is more than a seven to one ratio.
