WWE NXT took advantage of no World Cup competition this past Tuesday.

This week’s episode averaged 691,000 viewers on The CW, up 16.7% from the previous week’s 592,000 and the largest audience for the show since February 17.

It averaged a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demo, up 71.4% from last week and tying its highest rating since September 23, 2025.

One of the keys is there was no major sports competition on the night other than a WNBA game on ESPN that topped the cable charts with a 0.16 rating and 954,000 viewers overall. NXT finished 8th out of 11 network TV shows in 18-49 when it usually finishes in last place.

As compared to the same week in 2025, overall viewership was down 0.6% while the 18-49 rating was down 25%.
