WWE NXT ratings down, back below 700k viewers

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT averaged 680,000 viewers on the USA Network, down 12.4 percent from last week. It’s the lowest audience total for the show since July 11.

The episode drew a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s down 17.4 percent from last week and is NXT’s lowest rating in that category since July 4.

There was little in the way of main roster talent on the episode with the exception of a short backstage promo from NXT North American Champion Dominick Mysterio and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley announcing that they will be teaming on next week’s NXT Heatwave special. 

As compared to the same week in 2022, NXT’s overall viewership was down six percent while its 18-49 rating was up 5.6 percent. Heatwave aired one week earlier last year, so the overall viewership was more than a normal episode was doing at the time.

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 1.3 percent in overall viewers but down five percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
