Tuesday’s special Roadblock episode of WWE NXT averaged 732,000 viewers on The CW, up 4.9% from the previous week.

It was the second-largest audience for the show since February 11th.

NXT finished 12th out of 13 shows in the broadcast TV charts with a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demo, identical to last week. It ties the lowest rating the show has done in that category since last year’s Christmas Eve episode.

The show went head to head with college basketball on ESPN that topped the cable charts with a 0.25 18-49 rating and 911,000 viewers as well as NBA action on TNT that finished second with a 0.24 rating and 851,000 viewers.

As compared to the same week in 2024 when the show aired on USA, overall viewership was up 24.5% while the 18-49 rating was down 6.3% so the audience is skewing much older.

Below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT on The CW in addition to the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was down 3.6% in overall viewers and 16.7% in 18-49 as compared to recent averages.
