WWE NXT Beats AEW Dynamite In Total Viewership This Week

New York, 5 October - On October 4, 2023, the episode of AEW Dynamite featured the WWE veteran Adam Copland, known as Edge, making his debut on the show. While Edge's appearance was a significant moment for AEW, the episode's ratings left much to be desired, as it marked the lowest viewership since May. ## According to data from Wrestlenomics, the October 4 episode of AEW Dynamite attracted 800,000 viewers, a decrease from the previous Wednesday's episode, which had garnered 855,000 viewers. In terms of the crucial demographic, the show drew 1,000 viewers, a decline from the previous week, resulting in the lowest rating since June 28 when the rating stood at 0.24. ## Furthermore, the October 4 episode earned a 0.28 rating in the 18 to 40 demographic, which was consistent with the rating from the September 27 episode. Overall, this episode disappointed AEW as it represented the lowest total viewership since May 3. ## In contrast, this week's edition of NXT, which aired on Tuesday, surpassed AEW Dynamite in terms of total viewership. AEW Dynamite, which aired on TBS, attracted 800,000 viewers and achieved a rating of 0.28 in the P18-49 demographic. However, Dynamite still outperformed NXT in this key demographic. ## It's worth mentioning that AEW will be going head-to-head with NXT this coming Tuesday, which raises significant concerns for AEW's future viewership. Surprisingly, this week's edition of NXT didn't even include many top main roster stars, yet they managed to outperform AEW Dynamite. ## Looking ahead to the next week, NXT has an impressive lineup of major stars from the company, such as John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Asuka, Paul Heyman, and more. This stacked roster has the potential to further challenge AEW's viewership and ratings. ##

Hulk Hogan's WrestleMania Involvement Rumor For Nick Hogan Debunked

New York, 5 October - Nick Hogan was never WWE's thought to bring him at WrestleMania 39. ## Hulk Hogan first noted during an interview with Chris Van Vliet that Nick Hogan was WWE's thought to make him perform at WrestleMania 39 which would do something with Shane McMahon. ## Hogan stated that Shane McMahon offered hands with him to do some sort of angle with him at WrestleMania, potentially involving Nick Hogan. However, Fightful Select spoke to one higher-up in WWE and stated that in no way the news is true. ## “In no way is that true. I can’t think of a time in the last 13 or 14 years that Nick Hogan’s name was brought up at all, much less in a creative capacity. There has never been a serious conversation about him being involved in anything that I can think of. Even when Hulk would mention him being involved in things, there just wasn’t an interest or a benefit to that," WWE higher up stated this. ## you can check out the full interview at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb6HPEOp6Vo ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
