WWE NXT viewership and 18-49 demo rating up

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT averaged 684,000 viewers on The CW, up 5.2 percent from last week. This is the second-highest audience total for the show since April 22.

The episode, headlined by a TNA World Championship match between Trick Williams and Mike Santana, drew a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s up 7.1 percent from last week and ties the best rating the show has done in that category since the April 22 post-Stand & Deliver episode. NXT was tied for eighth place in the key demo among the 10 English-language network shows that aired in prime time.

There was no major sports competition on the night with the NBA and NHL both waiting for their respective finals to begin.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when NXT still aired on USA Network, the overall viewership was down 10.9 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 31.8 percent, again continuing the trend of NXT’s audience skewing older on The CW.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership totals and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week average in both categories. This week’s show was up 1.2 percent in viewers and steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
