That's one of those bullshit things AEW fanboys spread. AEW does
slightly better in the 18-49 demo (probably with a bunch of 45 year old white guys) and they claim that means the audience is young and hip. NXT doesn't do as impressively in that demo, but it also launches on the WWE Network the next day.
I've said from the start that I'm willing to bet the audiences are much more similar than those who take the ratings literally suspect, and that the NXT audience is much larger and diversified than USA live on a Wednesday would tell them, but they tell me that doesn't make any sense, and the reason they give is that NXT isn't in the top one or two shows on the WWE Network each week, as if that's the point.
If 250k people in that demo watch it on DVR and/or the WWE Network on Thursday, sure it's got no effect on the advertising or whatever, but it'd have a younger audience than AEW. They just don't watch it live because they're supporting the other guys for now.
