WWE NXT viewership down, 18-49 demo rating steady

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 675,000 viewers on The CW, down 9.6 percent from last week. It’s the second-lowest viewership total for the show since July 8.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.16 rating. That’s the same rating the show did last week (which had an appearance by The Undertaker) and ties the best rating NXT has drawn in that category since April 22. It finished sixth on all of television in prime time last night with no major sports competition.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when NXT was moved to SyFy because of USA Network coverage of the Olympics, the show’s overall viewership was up 44.2 percent while the 18-49 rating was up 6.7 percent, so the audience continues to skew much older on broadcast television.

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 episode was down 0.7 percent in viewers but up 6.7 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
