WWE NXT ratings down for last live episode of 2025
Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 607,000 viewers on The CW, down 6.2 percent from the previous week. Despite the decrease, this is the third-highest audience total for the show since October 14.
In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.08 rating. That’s down 11.1 percent from last week but ties the fourth-highest rating the show has done in that category since the October 14 episode.
There was no major sports competition on the night, although a college basketball game did air head-to-head on ESPN and averaged a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demo.
As compared to the same week in 2024, when Nielsen was still using its panel-only measurement system, NXT’s overall viewership was down 14.3 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 50 percent.
This was the last live NXT episode of 2025, as the final two shows of the year have already been taped in advance. Spoilers can be found here.
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 up 3.9 percent in viewers but down 11.1 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
