Last night's Winter is Coming special edition of AEW Dynamite averaged 913,000 viewers on TNT. The show featured a heavily promoted AEW World Championship match with Kenny Omega winning the title from Jon Moxley in the main event. Winter is Coming also included the surprise AEW debut of Sting.

WWE NXT averaged 658,000 viewers on the USA Network last night. The episode was the go-home show for Sunday's NXT TakeOver: War Games event.

Dynamite was up 28.6 percent in total viewers from last week. The show also did a 0.42 rating in the 18-49 demo, the best number Dynamite has done in that category since October 2019. The 18-49 number was up 61.5 percent from last week.

NXT was down 7.6 percent in total viewers and 20 percent in 18-49.

The overall viewership for Dynamite was the highest on a night when NXT was also airing since March 18, the first show of the pandemic era that featured the AEW debuts of Matt Hardy and Brodie Lee.

Combined Wednesday night wrestling viewership this week was 1.571 million, up 10.5 percent from last week and the highest since October 28, which was the night of NXT Halloween Havoc. The combined 18-49 demo rating of 0.58 beat Raw this week by 10 percent and Dynamite on its own came within 14 percent of tying the third hour of Raw in that demo.

Year-over-year, Dynamite was up 7.3 percent in overall viewers and 31.3 percent in the 18-49 demo. NXT was down 44.8 percent in overall viewers and 22.1 percent in the demo.

Sting!?!?!

I guarantee the Pro Aew guys (and I really don't care either way at this point.), are talking about how getting him makes them above WWE...

But he was in WWE first before AEW was a thing lol.

I dont; think i've seen anyone think it makes it better than WWE, I think when it comes to fanboy-ism, i've seen more people think he's way too old for AEW. But I think Eric Escobar was in WWE longer than Sting was.
