Grayson Waller

This past Tuesday’s WWE NXT averaged 680,000 viewers on The CW, down 1.5% from the previous week but still their third-largest audience since mid-February.

The episode averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demo, up 11.1% from the prior week and the second-highest rating it has done in that category in five weeks.

Cruz Montana was advertised for the show as was a men’s North American title match. Grayson Waller (pictured above) made a surprise appearance with a “pipe bomb” style promo.

The show finished 10th out of 11 shows on network TV in the 18-49 rankings and was last in terms of total viewers, going head-to-head with a WNBA game on ESPN as the major sports competition.

As compared to the same week in 2025, overall viewership was up 0.7% while the 18-49 rating was down 37.5%. It’s only the second time this year that the show has shown year-over-year growth in total viewership.
