NWA reveals Comet TV debut rating, number higher than recent TNA Impact audience

The NWA is celebrating the audience it says Powerrr drew for its first episode on Comet TV, although the numbers they report are unclear.

According to the promotion, 275,000 households tuned in for the May 2, 2026 episode. The NWA attributed the figure to Nielsen. A key demo number was not provided.

Dave Meltzer notes that we have thus far been unable to corroborate NWA’s reported rating for the show.

The episode marked the National Wrestling Alliance’s long-awaited return to broadcast television after 30 years and first in its new, weekly time slot Saturdays, 4PM ET. Thank you to great fans around the world for inviting the NWA into their homes on

@WatchComet. Stay tuned for more hard-hitting pro wrestling action, excitement and drama as only the stars of the NWA and π™‰π™’π˜Ό π™‹π™Šπ™’π™€π™π™π™ can offer, every Saturday, 4PM ET /3PM CT / 4PM PT on Comet.

The graphic included with the NWA’s post listed the number as β€œPersons 2+,” which refers to individual viewers age 2 and older. However, the text of the NWA’s post referred to households, which is a different measurement. Households refers to homes where a program was tuned in, while viewers refers to individual people watching.

The NWA’s post did not specify whether the 275,000 figure represented the show’s average audience or the number of households that tuned in at any point during the broadcast.

If the NWA was stating that the episode averaged 275,000 viewers, that would place it significantly above Comet TV’s 2025 primetime average of 92,000 viewers, as listed by USTVDB.

For comparison, the April 30 episode of TNA Impact averaged 209,000 viewers on AMC.

Eight episodes of NWA Power added to The CW streaming app

Eight episodes of NWA Power have been added to The CW’s app.

The network added the episodes of NWA’s flagship show on Tuesday. They begin with the September 5 episode and runs through October 24.

NWA owner Billy Corgan revealed back in October that the company had signed two television deals with a β€œtop 20 network”. It was reported the network in question was The CW, with one deal being for Power and the other being for a reality show on Billy Corgan’s life, including his marriage that took place back in September.

However, it was later reported that the deals were in trouble following an angle that took place at NWA Samhain pay-per-view in which James Mitchell snorted what appeared to be cocaine while observing a match. Corgan reportedly pushed for the segment to air on the show.

It was announced earlier this month that The CW had agreed to a new television deal with WWE’s NXT program, which will leave the USA Network in the fall of 2024.
