Strong ratings streak underscores NXT’s broadcast edge
Summary
– NXT on CW has topped AEW Dynamite in weekly TV ratings 48 out of the last 52 weeks
– The streak reinforces NXT’s strength with a consistent on-network presence
– Every male NXT champion since the CW move has been Black, highlighting diverse representation
In what reads like a ratings coup, NXT has asserted dominance over AEW Dynamite, winning in viewership 48 of the past 52 weeks.
The shift to a broadcast network has given NXT broader access and visibility, translating to sustained ratings success.
Meanwhile, AEW continues to tout growth in attendance and streaming, but those numbers haven’t kept pace with traditional broadcast metrics.
Observers note that NXT’s consistent leadership at the top—a Black wrestler has always held the men’s championship during this run—gives its brand cultural weight.
Tony Khan speaks confidently about AEW’s trajectory, yet the numbers tell a different story for weekly audiences.
This streak is more than a stat line—it’s a challenge to AEW’s momentum and an affirmation that NXT’s model resonates with viewers.
