The WWE and AEW debates often include people bringing up the ratings of one or the other from week to week, but whether you love AEW, WWE, or both, neither did especially well in the ratings last week. In a post from The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer, it was revealed that SmackDown’s ratings were the lowest since they started having shows in arenas again, and in the 18 to 49 demographic AEW Rampage hit its third-lowest rating. Meanwhile Raw hit its lowest rating ever and NXT had its second-lowest rating ever, so it seems like losses across the board.
Not a good week for wrestling on TV overall. SD was its lowest since going back to arenas, Rampage was among its third lowest in 18-49, Raw was its lowest ever and NXT was its second lowest ever.
AEW & WWE both setting record revenues this year, and unless TV changes, all signs are next deals will be up for both. https://t.co/mRazTJpNJn
