Beginning from September 26, 2025 and forward, TV ratings data is measured with the new “Big Data + Panel” methodology. Data before that date was measured with the “panel-only” methodology. This change coincided with a general decrease in viewership measurements for wrestling programs we track. Then, beginning January 26, 2026, Nielsen reportedly made a change to its methodology that applied to cable telecasts. That change coincided with a general increase in viewership for wrestling programs. More details on the change can be found in Nielsen’s press release here and our article here.
