WWE NXT draws best viewership since March

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 726,000 viewers on The CW, up 6.1 percent from last week. This is the best audience total for the show since March 25.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.15 rating. That’s the same number the show did last week and matches the best rating NXT has done in that category since April 22. NXT placed eighth among the 11 shows on English-language broadcast networks in prime time.

There was no major sports competition on the night as both the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals both had off days. A Chicago Sky vs. New York Liberty WNBA game did air head-to-head and averaged 606,000 viewers with a 0.11 demo rating on ESPN, while a New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals baseball game on TBS averaged 479,000 viewers with a 0.11 rating.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when the show still aired on USA Network, NXT’s overall viewership was up 1.1 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 31.8 percent.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership numbers and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was up 8.3 percent from the recent averages while the 18-49 rating was steady.
