WWE NXT ratings up for Heatwave fallout

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 656,000 viewers on USA Network, up 21 percent from last week. It’s the best audience total for the show since June 18.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.24 rating. That’s up 60 percent from last week and ties the second-highest rating the show has done in that category so far in 2024. NXT finished third on the prime time cable charts in 18-49 and was the top non-sports program on cable. It ranked eighth on all of television in prime time.

The show went head-to-head with a Copa America soccer game on FS1, which was the top show on cable with nearly two million viewers and a 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demo.

As compared to the same week in 2023, NXT’s overall viewership was down 2.2 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 20 percent, so the audience is skewing much younger.

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 0.8 percent in overall viewers and up 20 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
