Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW saw a modest boost in viewership, drawing an average of 528,000 viewers. That’s up slightly from last week’s 527,000, marking the show’s strongest audience since October 14.

In the key 18-49 demographic, NXT posted a 0.08 rating, a 14.3 percent increase from the previous week. This also represents the highest demo rating the brand has achieved since the October 14 broadcast.

NXT faced tough competition, airing opposite an NBA game on NBC and extensive cable news coverage of the 2025 U.S. elections, which dominated Tuesday’s ratings.

Compared to the same week in 2024 , when Nielsen was still relying on its panel-only system , NXT’s total audience dipped 14.7 percent year-over-year, while its 18-49 rating dropped 52.9 percent.
