WWE NXT ratings down for Fourth of July episode

Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, which was taped in advance and aired on the Fourth of July holiday, averaged 508,000 viewers on the USA Network. That’s down 18.3 percent from last week.

This is the lowest audience total in NXT’s history for an episode that aired on USA Network. The only episode to draw a lower viewership was in February 2022 when NXT was moved to SyFy due to Olympic coverage on USA.

NXT drew a 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 23.5 percent from last week. That ties the lowest rating in the demo NXT has done since March 21. 

As compared to the same week in 2022, NXT’s viewership was down 14.3 percent but its 18-49 rating was up 8.3 percent, so the show is skewing much younger this year, as all WWE programming has been.

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 all categories. This week’s show was down 17.5 percent in overall viewers and down 23.5 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
