WWE NXT Sees Small Ratings Bounce to 556,000, 18-49 Demo Rebounds From Record Low

This past Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT averaged 556,000 viewers on The CW, up from last week’s 544,000 and the largest audience in nearly a month. The show recorded a 0.07 rating in the key 18-49 demo — a 40% increase from the prior week’s record low, though the 0.07 still ties for the third-lowest 18-49 rating in NXT history (all occurring in 2026). NXT went head-to-head with the NHL Stanley Cup Finals on ABC, which led broadcast television with 4.782 million viewers and a 1.31 18-49 rating; NXT finished last on network television in both total viewers and the demo.

Year-over-year comparisons remain concerning: overall viewership is down 18.7% and the 18-49 rating is down 53.3% versus the same week in 2025. Against recent averages — a 10-week 18-49 average of 0.085 and a 10-week total-viewer average of 567,400 — this week’s show was about 2% lower in overall viewers and roughly 12.5% lower in the 18-49 demo.
