Apparently Meltzer managed to dig more into NXT's razor thin victory this week and it turns out NXT won due to favorable rounding by Nielsen.

NXT had 692,900 which got rounded up to 693k while AEW had 692,500 but didn't get rounded up so they only got 692k.

Was speculated elsewhere that the difference likely was a single Nielsen viewer who swung the numbers in NXT favor.

Taken another digit in, NXT was 692,900 and AEW was 692,500, so difference of 400 viewers. Very interesting quarters. I'll say this. Definitely not what you would expect.

Last time the numbers were that close was when they tied once time in December. Wouldn't be surprised if favorable rounding also happened back then.
