//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

Was really surprised NXT beat Dynamite this week considering NXT aired on a different night. The biggest issue with AEW and its fans I think is that they can't see that there are problems which need to be fixed. A few years ago, AEW were close to Raw, at least in 18-49, now they can't even beat NXT. Something needs to change.

ELIMINATION CHAMBER TO BE HELD AT ROGERS CENTRE IN TORONTO

- WWE today announced that the 2025 Elimination Chamber premium live event will be taking place from the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada on Saturday, March 1. "Canada is an amazing place to host our biggest Premium Live Events, with its passionate fans and rich history that spans decades," said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. "On the heels of a record-breaking Money In The Bank this past July, we are excited to return to Toronto for an even larger event in 2025." The Rogers Centre is the building formerly known as the Sky Dome, where WrestleMania VI and 18 took place. WWE has not held an event at that location since 2002. This marks the second consecutive year that Elimination Chamber will be held in an international stadium, following this year’s record-setting event at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia. Elimination Chamber 2025 Priority Passes will soon be available from On Location giving fans the chance to be ringside for every exhilarating moment including premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities and much more.

NXT BEATS DYNAMITE IN RATINGS

- Dynamite and NXT had a rare head-to-head on Wednesday night due to the U.S. presidential election, and while NXT won the previous head-to-heads when Dynamite moved to Tuesday, it was expected that Dynamite would get the win due to them being in their regular time slot. But AEW got a cold reality check as the ECW-themed episode of NXT from the 2300 Arena actually beat it in both viewership and 18-49 demo. NXT drew 619,000 viewers overall while Dynamite averaged 523,000 viewers, a difference of 96,000 viewers. In 18-49, NXT had a 0.17 rating while Dynamite drew a 0.16, although NXT airs on network television while Dynamite is on cable. While NXT had some ECW originals on the show, with the likes of Dawn Marie, Francine, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rhino, Nunzio, and Tony Mamaluke all showing up, AEW loaded Dynamite with their usual big stars, including Mercedes Mone, The Hurt Syndicate, Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, and others. At one point during the broadcast, Christian Cage made fun of the competition, telling Hook that his father was the face of an outlaw promotion and was a big fish in a little pond who choked when he got to the bright lights. Bully Ray, who wrestled on NXT, posted a photo of himself, D-Von Dudley, and Trick Williams with their arms raised, writing, "Demo Gods," a shot at Chris Jericho when he used to call himself the demo god for having high 18-49 demo segments back in the day.

NXT RATING

- NXT this week drew 619,000 viewers on a special Wednesday episode, up 31,000 viewers from the prior week. This was the ECW-themed episode from the ECW Arena but also the second least-watched episode of NXT on CW, with the move to Wednesday night not helping. In 18-49, NXT drew 0.17, up 0.03 from the prior week. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)

DYNAMITE VS NXT QUARTER HOUR NUMBERS

- There was not much to celebrate for AEW on Wednesday night after the quarter-hour ratings were revealed, showing a bleak picture when it came to viewership trends against NXT. Out of eight quarters, Dynamite won the first quarter in both viewers and 18-49 thanks to their lead-in, winning in viewers by just 1,000 and in 18-49 by 22,000 viewers. In the seventh quarter, Dynamite lost by 92,000 in viewership but won the 18-49 demo by 15,000. Apart from that, everything else was an NXT win in both viewers and demo numbers, something which was not expected since NXT was running on a day which is considered to be AEW's. Everything went downhill for AEW as soon as the second quarter kicked in, losing 91,000 viewers and never recovering. Dynamite ended the last quarter with just 455,000 viewers, and their nine-minute overrun after NXT went off the air increased only by 5,000 viewers, despite NXT's closing with 625,000 viewers.

FIRST WWE ID TALENTS REVEALED

- The first four WWE ID talent were announced this week, and more are expected to be revealed this weekend. Launched last week, WWE ID, short for Independent Development, is a program designed to provide up-and-coming independent wrestlers a pathway to a potential career in WWE. Zayda Steel was the first indie talent announced. Hailing from Washington, D.C., she was scouted from Combat Zone Wrestling. She's been wrestling for two years. Bryce Donovan was scouted from Wrestling Open and is from Long Beach, New York. He has been wrestling for eight years. "Coldbrew" Cappuccino Jones was the third one announced. From Coffeyville, Kansas, Jones was scouted from This Is Wrestling and has been doing this for two years. Jack Cartwheel from Sacramento, California was the latest to be revealed. He was scouted from Game Changer Wrestling and has been wrestling since 2019. Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling (Houston), Cody Rhodes’ Nightmare Factory (Atlanta), Seth Rollins’ Black and Brave Academy (Davenport, Iowa), Elite Pro Wrestling Training Center (Concord, N.H.) and KnokX Pro Academy (Los Angeles) are the first WWE ID independent wrestling schools to earn the official designation.

DYNAMITE RATING

- Dynamite on Wednesday drew 523,000 viewers, down a whopping 106,000 viewers as it went head-to-head with NXT. This was the third least-watched Dynamite of 2024. The show had a 0.16 rating, down 0.03 from the prior week and ties the lowest number the show has done. Dynamite ranked #6 on the top 50 cable chart for the night. (Programming Insider)
