WWE NXT viewership and 18-49 demo rating up

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 683,000 viewers on The CW, up 5.1 percent from last week. Despite the increase, this is still the third-lowest audience total for the show so far in 2025.

NXT drew a 0.17 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s up 13.3 percent from last week and is the best rating the show has done in that category since February 25.

The show went head-to-head with a Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks NBA game on TNT that topped the TV charts with a 0.43 rating in 18-49. The game averaged 1.518 million viewers overall.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when the show still aired on USA Network, NXT’s overall viewership was up 5.6 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 10.5 percent, continuing the noticeable trend of NXT’s audience skewing much older on The CW.

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 show was down 7.4 percent in overall viewership but steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
