WWE NXT ratings steady for Christmas week episode

The December 23 episode of WWE NXT averaged 602,000 viewers on The CW, down 0.8 percent from the previous week. This marks the fourth-highest audience for the show since October 14.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.08 rating. That’s identical to the rating the December 16 episode drew and matches the third-highest rating the show has done in that category since October 14. Among network programming in prime time, NXT tied a repeat episode of the Fox series “Doc” for the lowest rated show of the night.

As compared to the same week in 2024 (under Nielsen’s old panel-only ratings measurement system), NXT’s overall viewership was down 16.7 percent while the 18-49 rating was down 42.9 percent.

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 3.4 percent in viewers and steady in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.
