AEW still beat NXT across the board in the key demographics and finished no. 32 in the cable top 50 among 18-49 year olds. NXT didn’t land in the top 50.
NXT headlined with a Johnny Gargano vs. Tomasso Ciampa and also a long-built-up six-woman ladder match to determine Charlotte’s first challenge. AEW headlined with Cody vs. Shawn Spears in a first-round tournament match for the TNT Championship Title.
