WWE NXT Viewership Beats AEW Dynamite: November 6 Ratings Breakdown

This week, WWE NXT returned to a head-to-head schedule against AEW Dynamite, creating another chapter in the competitive landscape of professional wrestling viewership. Here’s how both shows stacked up in terms of audience numbers and key demographics.

WWE NXT Viewership Outperforms AEW Dynamite

For the November 6 broadcasts, WWE NXT drew in 619,000 viewers, surpassing AEW Dynamite’s total of 523,000 viewers. This marked a significant win for NXT, particularly as they reverted to Wednesday night scheduling, a move that reminded fans of the former “Wednesday Night Wars” between these two shows.

Beyond total viewership, WWE NXT also led in the 18-49 key demographic, scoring a 0.17 rating. AEW Dynamite trailed slightly with a 0.16 rating, showing the close competition between the two brands among the most sought-after age group for advertisers.

ECW-Themed WWE NXT Attracts Fans

One of the highlights of this week’s WWE NXT episode was its ECW-themed presentation from Philadelphia’s iconic 2300 Arena. WWE tapped into nostalgia by featuring legendary ECW names, including Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rob Van Dam, and Rhyno. This nostalgic element may have played a role in boosting NXT’s viewership figures.

The episode featured an exciting matchup of Bubba Ray Dudley and Trick Williams against Ridge Holland and Ethan Page, adding to the night’s appeal. Other returning stars included Nunzio and Dawn Marie, which likely attracted fans of wrestling history to tune in.

AEW Dynamite Highlights and Competitive Programming

AEW Dynamite, known for its fast-paced, high-energy matches, featured a notable main event with Powerhouse Hobbs returning as Ricochet’s mystery partner, taking on Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. The show also included a standout match where Adam Cole faced off against Malakai Black, pulling in AEW’s dedicated fanbase despite the head-to-head competition.

While WWE NXT secured a win in total viewership, the tight ratings in the key demographic indicate a competitive week for wrestling fans across both shows.
