The NWA is celebrating the audience it says Powerrr drew for its first episode on Comet TV.
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.

“𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙆 𝙔𝙊𝙐, 𝙁𝘼𝙉𝙎! The numbers are in, and Nielsen reports 275,000 households tuned in to the May 2 episode of 𝙉𝙒𝘼 𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙍𝙍 on Comet TV. 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 𝙉𝙒𝘼 𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙍𝙍 can offer, every Saturday, 4PM ET /3PM CT / 4PM PT on Comet.“
The graphic included with the NWA’s post listed the number as “Persons 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.
