– Wrestlenomics has the viewership and ratings numbers for last night’s edition of WWE NXT. This marked NXT’s third week on The CW. However, the previous two episodes were heavily loaded shows, and they were also on the road outside of NXT’s usual venue of the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando.

NXT faced competition against the MLB ALCS game featuring the Yankees vs. the Guardians on TBS. The MLB Playoff game coverage led the night in viewership and ratings with 5.4 million viewers and a 1.28 rating in the key demo.
