Eh, maybe if they had changed things up for the past 15-20ish years.... maybe. But good lord if this whole event hasn't exposed them for the stale, SSDD crap they've been churning out, they wouldn't be hurting AS bad. Quote:

On Meltzer's board it was mentioned Backstage had 35k viewers this week but it was not enough to be listed in the top 150 programs for the day.

Whoever posted that there must have gotten some faulty info since Backstage ranked this week at #142 and did 134k viewers with a 0.04 in the key demo.
First time since mid-February it managed to rank. |

Probably a mix of people not liking last week's empty arena show from AEW and assuming the same was going to happen this week and that MTV show taking away a good chunk of the young viewers for both shows.
Neither WWE nor AEW taking advantage of a lot more people being stuck at home during these past few weeks is a bit of a worrying sign. News shows doing monster numbers makes sense considering the situation but wrestling should have also been able to capitalize greatly with no sports around for the time being. |

Someone bet me that AEW would get over a million viewers during this quarantine.

Still waiting for WWE, Vince, and/or HHH to execute the plans to really crush AEW that I've been hearing about for the last couple of months now.

The 2018 Raw after WrestleMania drew 3,921,000 viewers... Feeling like this year might be barely above 2 million...

The good being RAW managed to rebound from last week's all-time low and got a good boost in the key demo rating while the bad being that was one of the smallest ever post-Mania PPV bumps. For some comparison, last year's post-Mania show had 824k more viewers overall. |

AEW fucking sucks. Can't wait for the excuses when the rating comes back even lower than last week. "No one is watching because of the news!" "It's WrestleMania week, dummy!" Yeah, like that wouldn't increase the foot traffic for all wrestling promotions. That's why no one usually runs indies at WrestleMania time.

Nice!
If there was ever a week NXT should've won it was definitely this one w/ The Takeover card. |

Since NXT just missed out on the Top 50, I'd assume they probably got a very sizable boost from their old demo since for a while AEW managed to either erase it or minimize that big advantage. |

News still dominated the Top 20 shows by a lot. Both in terms of viewers and in demo rankings.
AEW was off by 0.03 points for a Top 20 ranking but in terms of viewers, only 2 shows in the Top 20 did less than 1 million and neither were news shows. |

Apparently Meltzer managed to dig more into NXT's razor thin victory this week and it turns out NXT won due to favorable rounding by Nielsen.
NXT had 692,900 which got rounded up to 693k while AEW had 692,500 but didn't get rounded up so they only got 692k. Was speculated elsewhere that the difference likely was a single Nielsen viewer who swung the numbers in NXT favor.
Last time the numbers were that close was when they tied once time in December. Wouldn't be surprised if favorable rounding also happened back then. |

Usually stuff like that gets revealed in the following Newsletter but something like this has only happened one other time soo far so I guess he felt extra giddy revealing it early.
Based on his tease, wouldn't be surprised at all if the squash match involving the Indus Sher tag team beat out one or more quarters from the very hyped up final encounter between Gargano and Ciampa. Same for Omega's tag match probably not being a ratings disaster despite the general negative reception to it online. Like last week's set of shows ended up revealing that America doesn't like Dumb & Dumber since it did an abysmal number as a lead-in and NXT might have had their least ever viewed segment in USA Network era history. |

Turns out the decider was the first ten minutes of both shows since NXT had a better lead-in and stronger start than AEW did.

Its a bit different with network channels.
Networks can withstand the on-going news shows onslaught better due to having a larger audience reach and only FOX airs news during prime time hours but its not tracked since its local news. If this was regular cable, Smackdown would have taken the #2 & #3 spots going by the previous Friday's cable rankings if you ignore the other networks. |

If SD aired Friday Nights on the USA Network it would have less viewers than RAW.
