And NXT will likely need help or a boost from the main roster shows in order for that to happen again going by the last time. Same for them likely squandering the momentum after a few weeks in terms of the key demo stuff.
And then the cycle will repeat for every major WWE show with likely exceptions here and there during the year.
NXT has the same exact problem as RAW and Smackdown in regards to the viewership being propped up way too much by WWE's older core audience. Until that drastically changes, NXT is going to struggle to maintain any long term momentum against AEW.
Meanwhile AEW's biggest problem right now is their audience is still too volatile and swings too much in either direction almost on a weekly basis. That's due to their younger audience not really settling in yet unlike NXT.
