WWE NXT viewership up for special Roadblock episode
Tuesday’s Roadblock edition of NXT averaged 613,000 viewers on the USA Network, up 11.3 percent from last week. It’s the best audience for the show since February 1 and is NXT’s fourth-best audience of 2022 so far.
The episode was headlined by Dolph Ziggler defeating Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa in a triple threat match to win the NXT Championship.
In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew the same 0.13 rating as last week, matching the show’s best number in that category since January 25. With news stations dominating the charts as well as stronger-than-usual sports competition, NXT finished 55th for the night on cable in the demo.
As compared to the same week in 2021, NXT was down 10 percent in overall viewers but up 8.3 percent in 18-49. That’s being compared to when the show was in its last few weeks of airing head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on Wednesdays.
Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo numbers for weeks where NXT aired on USA. This week’s show was up slightly in overall viewers but even in 18-49, so it was essentially the exact same as the recent averages in both categories.
