Simple reason is AEW's core is still way more violate than NXT which is why they are more like RAW and NXT is more like SD if you were to put their ratings in a graph form.
NXT's core is pretty much WWE's older audience and it takes a lot more for them to sway hard in either direction. Even if NXT didn't have WWE's older audience doing all the heavy lifting, they'd likely still have smaller waves in the graph than AEW.
Current theory going around for months is AEW audience in general is a lot more susceptible to outside factors which is why whenever something big happens in sports or news, they usually get hit harder since that is where their attention went to for that week.
