WWE NXT Audience & Rating Both Slip To Yearly Low

Tuesday night's WWE NXT show suffered a drop to 676,000 viewers - the lowest audience all year. In the 18-49 demo, the rating was also down from last week to 0.15, tying the lowest mark since the Christmas Eve episode last December.

The show did face stronger than normal competition, going up against parts of two NCAA March Madness basketball tournament games on Tru TV. One game averaged 1.352 million viewers and a 0.38 rating while the second game led the cable charts with a 0.70 rating and 2.198 million viewers.

Year-over-year, WWE NXT is up almost 20% in viewers but down almost the same in 18-49 which means that while more people are watching the show, the audience is skewing much older. Of course, the major change from 2024 to 2025 is that the show has moved from USA to CW.
