WWE NXT ratings up, back over 700k viewers

Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT averaged 741,000 viewers on The CW, up 9.6 percent from last week. It’s the highest audience total for the show since February 25. In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.16 rating. That’s up 6.7 percent from last week and is also the best rating the show has done in that category since the February 25 episode. The only major sports competition was an NBA game on TNT that averaged 969,000 viewers and topped the prime time cable charts with a 0.26 rating in 18-49. The NXT show featured Stephanie Vaquer defending both her NXT Women’s Championship and Women’s North American Championship, defeating Jaida Parker in the opener and Fallon Henley in the main event. As compared to the same week in 2024, when the show aired on USA Network, NXT’s overall viewership was up 23.3 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 5.9 percent, so the audience is continuing to skew much older on The CW. It’s the fourth straight week that NXT has had a year-over-year decline in the key demo. Listed below are
