WWE NXT viewership up for August 5 episode

Tuesday night’s WWE NXT episode averaged 740,000 viewers on The CW, an increase of 9.6 percent from last week. It’s the second-largest viewership total the show has done since March 25.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.16 rating — the same number the show did last Tuesday. This ties the best rating NXT has drawn in that category since April 22. It finished sixth on all of television in the key demo last night, where there was no major sports competition.

As compared to the same week in 2024, when NXT was moved to SyFy due to USA Network’s coverage of the Olympics, the show’s overall viewership was up 38.6 percent while the 18-49 rating was steady.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of viewership numbers and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, along with the 10-week average in both categories. The overall viewership was up 9.2 percent while the 18-49 rating was up 6.7 percent as compared to the recent averages.
