The electrifying match-up between Austin and Shawn Michaels was not far behind, which also earned a 0.15 demo rating and drew in 433,000 viewers.

These episodes have now climbed to the top of the charts as the most-watched of the season, tying with the Rock vs. Steve Austin and WWE vs. WCW episodes that premiered on July 24th and August 7th, 2022, respectively. The Austin vs. Hart showdown also boasted the most extensive viewership since the WWE vs. WCW episode, which achieved a series high with 488,000 viewers.

As per the latest data from Showbuzz Daily, WWE Rivals episodes landed at #24 and #25 spots among cable originals for the night. Despite the impressive performance, they fell short to the NBA Playoff game between the Celtics and Hawks, which took the lead with a massive 1.33 demo rating and a staggering 3.828 million viewership, leaving other shows in the dust.

The second season of WWE Rivals proved to be a remarkable success, averaging an impressive 0.127 demo rating and attracting 383,000 viewers. This is a substantial improvement from the first season’s 0.106 demo rating and 370,000 viewership, showcasing the show’s ability to captivate and thrill wrestling enthusiasts around the world. It’s a testament to the program’s enthralling content and the wrestling world’s ever-growing fan base.
