PW Torch reports that the final demographic numbers show that AEW Rampage beat WWE SmackDown in the target 18 to 49 demographic during their half-hour overlap.
We’re obtained a new key ratings detail on Friday: #AEW #Rampage beat #WWESmackdown in head-to-head 30 minutes in the most coveted 18-49 demo – 328,000 to 285,000. Rampage led with Punk match, Smackdown featured Becky-Sasha and Lesnar.
The overall ratings showed a dead tie with .24 each in the 18 to 49 demographic. It doesn’t come much closer than that. Now AEW is looking toward the future with a pretty big win under their belts.
