AEW's first Dynamite show ran circles around NXT on Wednesday night. AEW drew a shade over 1.4 million viewers for their inaugural weekly show, while NXT averaged 891,000 viewers. This is down from their 1 million they averaged the previous week.
While this number is promising, it's worth nothing that it was a major event given that TNT last broadcast wrestling 18 years ago, so there was that initial excitement. Let's see if AEW can generate staying power every week.
