Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 799,000 viewers on The CW. That’s up 16 percent from last week and is the fourth-largest audience total for the show since October 8.
In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.19 rating. That’s up 11.8 percent from last week and ties the third-best number the show has done in that category since the October 8 episode.
The show went head-to head with TNT’s coverage of a Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic NBA game that averaged 934,000 viewers and drew a 0.27 rating in 18-49, as well as a college basketball game on ESPN that averaged 672,000 viewers and a 0.14 demo rating.
As compared to the same week in 2024, when the show still aired on USA Network, NXT’s overall viewership was up 40.2 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 18.8 percent, so the audience is skewing much older this year.
Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, along with the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s episode was up 6.1 percent in viewers and 5.6 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
