WWE NXT scores biggest audience in months
This week’s Great American Bash go-home edition of WWE NXT saw its biggest viewership in four months despite strong sports competition.
Tuesday’s episode averaged 668,000 viewers on The CW, up nearly 10% from the previous week’s 610,000 and the largest audience for the show since February 17.
The episode averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demo, up 22.2% from last week and tying its best rating in that category since February 10.
The strong numbers were despite going head-to-head with the NBA Draft, which combined for over four million viewers between ABC and ESPN and a 1.00 18-49 rating. It also went up against the World Cup on Fox which averaged 6.778 million viewers and a 2.06 18-49 rating, but only went up against the first half of NXT.
The show finished last among all network TV programming in both total viewers and 18-49 rating as it usually does.
