‘Le Champion’ Chris Jericho spoke on his Chris Jericho’s Saturday Night Special where he explains why AEW is the real winner in the ratings war with NXT this week.
NXT representation of Great American Bash beats AEW’s Fyter Fest in the viewership for the third time in a row. According to Showbuzz Daily, AEW garnered an average viewership of 715,000 and NXT garnered 759,000 viewers. However, AEW got an upper hand in the 18-49 demographic.
According to Forbes, AEW came in at No. 7 in the Top 150 original cable telecasts among the 18-49 demographic and NXT came in at No. 24 in the 18-49 demo.
Jericho talks about this win and claims that AEW should be considered as the winner instead of NXT.
“Listen, it’s very important to have the most viewers, and NXT definitely got the win this week – congratulations to them. But this is not being a sore loser or anything like that, but, we didn’t lose, we won. If you know anything about television, there’s a certain demographic that advertisers and that networks care about the most. Not being demeaning to anybody not in this age bracket, but 18-49 is what advertisers care about the most. It’s called the ‘The Demo’ and what that means is that the advertisers of all the products, they want to appeal to a certain age group.”
Jericho also said that he shouldn’t be misunderstood. He believes that all age groups are important but the 18-49 demo is the most essential and AEW has been dominating NXT in that demo for the past couple of weeks.
