Note: Nielsen has changed its TV ratings methodology multiple times recently:

• September 26, 2025: switched to “Big Data + Panel” measurement (details here). This generally resulted in lower viewership measurements for wrestling programs (more on that here).
• January 26, 2026: further change to cable telecasts (details here). This generally lifted wrestling programs’ measured viewership, recovering much of the decrease that had followed the September change.
• September 1, 2026: additional updates for the new TV season, including a revised co-viewing measurement using wrist-worn devices and re-weighted big data/panel components (details here).
