WWE NXT ratings up for Stand & Deliver fallout

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 686,000 viewers on The CW, up 3.5 percent from the previous week. It’s the best audience total for the show since March 25.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.17 rating. That’s up 21.4 percent from last week and ties the highest rating the show has done in that category since the February 25 episode. NXT finished seventh among the 12 shows on English-language broadcast networks for the night, beating everything on Fox and most shows on NBC.

NXT went head-to-head with the NBA playoffs on TNT and NBA TV as well as the NHL playoffs on ESPN. Those games took three of the top four spots on the cable charts.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when the show still aired on USA Network, NXT’s overall viewership was up 3.8 percent while its 18-49 rating was down 15 percent — so the audience continues to skew much older on The CW.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership numbers and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, along with the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 3.8 percent in overall viewership but up 6.3 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
