Didn't HHH suggest it's now the "third brand"? Guys like Finn Balor are surely not being labelled "developmental"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell thats good. It is good but I still can't help feel that AEW v WWE is hardly a level playing field when you're pitching AEW's big budget main show against what is the WWE's, what, third most important? In fairness, it would be a fair accusation to call me old fashioned and that NXT has developed a lot over the years. I saw this on Twitter last night, but as a lapsed fan of many years, I knew who all those are on the right but not a clue who re: those on the NXT side.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decade old brand, known for great matches and great talent being pushed by a company with millions of TV viewers twice a week a social reach of billions. It's not just some underdog.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2019 1.4m viewers is excellent. NXT got 891k, down from just over 1m last week. Some interesting bits here. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) The rating means less than the demos do on this occassion. They killed NXT in the 18-34s. That's a worry for them. How do they get younger fans to watch NXT? What on that show inspires you? They'll have to go into arenas and get some stars and proper storylines on this show eventually. Let's not get carried away, because Fox, the Saudi deal, Raw, the Network and loads of other shite is a priority over NXT, but its a bad look seeing Jack Swagger fuck over your regulars.

MPDTT Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's so nostalgic to be talking about a ratings battle again! 1.4m is outstanding - but as said previously, the measuring stick is where we are in 4-6 weeks. Still, you have to tilt your hat to what Tony Khan and The Elite have done since the announcement back in Vegas.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doog Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The ITV Hub one seems to be the cut down edited version they’ll be airing on Sunday morning on ITV4 by the looks of it so all being well tomorrow nights airing at 11:20 will be the full unedited version.
