More on AEW Rampage Viewership for November 22nd

The November 22nd episode of AEW Rampage saw AEW gain a very large increase in overall viewership and a small increase in key demographic ratings.

AEW drew 249,000 viewers and a 0.09 key demographic rating on TNT. AEW’s key demographic ranking for that night was outside of the top 25.

Dave Meltzer reported that the main reason for AEW’s increases that week was due to the very large gain from their younger key demographic viewership group, which was up 166.7% compared to the prior week’s show. Another reason reportedly was due to the higher than usual viewers per home, which was 1.53 for the show.

In terms of notable head-to-head competition, the College football game of Purdue vs. Michigan State drew 1,837,000 viewers on FOX, the College football game of Temple vs. Texas-San Antonio drew 512,000 viewers on ESPN2, and the NBA game of Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans drew 1,378,000 viewers on ESPN, Scare Tactics drew 383,000 viewers on USA Network, 90 Day Fiance drew 416,000 viewers on TLC, and On Patrol Live drew 570,000 viewers on REELZ Channel.

In terms of key demographic viewership, AEW had 119,000 viewers. AEW’s 18-34 had 31,000 viewers (up 210%), Females 18-34 had 9,000 viewers (up 80%), Males 35-49 had 58,000 viewers (up 11.5%), and Females 35-49 had 21,000 viewers (up 162%). Meltzer reported that AEW’s males/female viewership split was 74.8% in favor of males.

In terms of yearly comparisons, AEW was down 5.7% in overall viewership but up 8.2% in key demographic viewership. Meltzer reported that AEW’s 18-34 key demographic viewership was up 42.9% compared to the same week last year.
