Last week’s episode of WWE NXT saw its rating backtrack from the week before, with the total viewership also down. The August 4th episode brought in a 0.07 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 647,000 viewers per Wrestlenomics.

Those numbers are down 30% and 4.6% respectively from the previous week’s 0.10 demo rating and audience of 680,000. The demo rating was the lowest for the show since the July 14th episode had a 0.05, and the total audience was likewise the lowest since that same episode’s 531,000.

As a reminder, Nielsen made an adjustment to its Big Data + Panel numbers in late January, and even the original Big Data + Panel ratings makes ratings difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said, WWE NXT is averaging a 0.085 demo rating and 605,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.161 and 710,000 for the same time period in 2025.
