Becky, Dom, and others were on NXT, and their ratings reflect it. The ratings and viewership data are in for the Oct. 3, No Mercy fallout edition of WWE NXT. According to Wrestlenomics, the episode was watched by a total audience of 857,000 and scored a .22 rating among 18-49 year olds. Both are well above last week’s Becky Lynch & Dominik Mysterio-light offering. The overall viewership number is a new “best since moving to Tuesdays”, beating September’s two Lynch-heavy editions. The demo number isn’t quite back to those peaks — or on the level of Dirty Dom’s first few weeks as North American champion in July &…

But this week, at Southampton Civic Centre, Mr McMillan, 64, said the council should ‘instil pride in the…
It was maybe expected that Rotherham would be at the lower end of the range in terms of away supporter numbers at St Mary’s this season, so it is not surprising that they have returned tickets for Saturday.

The Millers are enjoying some of…

Breaking down the Kristaps Porzingis trade to the Celtics This article is the first of a series that analyzes the key moves of the 2023 offseason.
