As seen on Friday night, AEW had their first show on the TNT Network as the company aired their “Countdown to All Out” special. The show, which wasn’t hyped much, did very good ratings for the network.
The countdown special, which aired at 10PM EST, scored a 0.14 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic, with 390,000 viewers. The TNT Network doesn’t normally rank in the top 150 cable networks on Friday nights.
Of course, the numbers don’t compare to RAW and SmackDown! Live’s numbers, but these are not comparable figures for a variety of obvious reasons including different timeslots, the Countdown special not being as heavily promoted and it essentially serving as a matchless preview of a pay-per-view event. It also obviously wasn’t a live show.
The Countdown to All Out special ranked #29 among cable originals for the night. The College Football game on ESPN won the night with a 0.61 demo rating and 1.801 million viewers.
