WWE NXT ratings down from New Year’s Evil

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 779,000 viewers on The CW Network. That’s down 18.6 percent from last week’s New Year’s Evil special (which featured an advertised appearance by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) but is the fourth-highest audience total the show has done since moving to The CW.

NXT drew a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demo. Though down 32 percent from last week, that ties the second-highest rating the show has done in that category since November 19.

As compared to the same week in 2024, NXT’s overall viewership was up 14.1 percent while its 18-49 rating was down 10.5 percent, so the show’s audience is skewing older than it did last year on USA Network.

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 episode was up 13.9 percent in overall viewership but steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
