WWE NXT draws best viewership in over two years

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT averaged 776,000 viewers on the USA Network. That’s up 8.2 percent from last week and is the best audience total for the show since April 20, 2021.

This is the fourth straight week NXT’s audience has been over 700,000 viewers, which has also not happened since March-April of 2021.

The main event of the episode saw Dominik Mysterio defend the NXT North American Championship against Dragon Lee. Rey Mysterio was in Dragon Lee’s corner for the match. 

NXT drew a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demo, which is the same rating the show had done the last two weeks. It matches NXT’s highest rating since October 28, 2021. 

As compared to the same week in 2022, NXT’s overall audience was up 30 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 76.9 percent. These increases come despite an overall decline in the number of homes receiving cable.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week averages in both categories. This week’s show was up 18.6 percent in overall viewers and up 21.1 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
