• Chris Jericho Says AEW ‘Crushed’ NXT In The Main Demo This Week
In this week’s Wednesday Night War, AEW Fight For The Fallen drew 788,000 viewers, while WWE NXT drew 631,000 viewers. AEW ended the 3 weeks long winning streak of NXT.
In the main 18-49 demo, AEW scored a 0.29 rating, which was far ahead than NXT’s 0.14 rating.
‘The Demo God’ Chris Jericho took a dig at NXT’s rating in the demo falling so quickly, after doing really good numbers over the past 3 weeks.

He also held on to his previous claims and said that AEW doesn’t care that they drew more overall viewers this week, as they care about the demos only (which they dominated).
“Cool that we won the overall viewers, but advertisers and the network don’t really care. All that matters is we CRUSHED it in THE DEMO! 0.29 to 0.14!
