WWE NXT draws best ratings since January

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT averaged 703,000 viewers on the USA Network, up 7.5 percent from last week. It’s the largest audience total for the show since January 9.

The episode drew a 0.24 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s up 41.2 percent from last week and is NXT’s second-highest rating of 2024, only trailing January’s New Year’s Evil special.

The increases came despite the fact that the show faced heavy sports competition. TNT’s broadcast of the NBA Western Conference Finals averaged 6.74 million viewers (going mostly head-to-head with NXT) while ESPN’s coverage of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals averaged 1.07 million.

As compared to the same week in 2023, NXT’s overall viewership was up 15.8 percent and its 18-49 rating was up 41.2 percent. It’s the 59th week of the last 60 where NXT has had a year-over-year increase in 18-49.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was up 13.6 percent in overall viewers and up 33.3 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
