WWE NXT Rating, Audience Down From Two Weeks Previous

WWE NXT saw its ratings tick down last week from the last known number, which was two weeks prior. Last Tuesday’s episode garnered a 0.08 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 532,000 viewers per Programming Insider. Those numbers were down 27.2% and up 18.2% respectively from NXT Gold Rush week one’s 0.11 demo rating and audience of 650,000.

“What about NXT Gold Rush week two?,” I hear you say. Good question. The Thanksgiving week ratings have been a bit of a mess for Nielsen under the Big Data + Panel methodology. A number of days have not yet had full ratings reported and that includes Tuesday, November 25th. The CW and cable ratings for that day have yet to be released, so we go off what we have.

The demo rating was still better than the 0.07 for the November 11th episode. Meanwhile, the show’s viewership was the lowest (that we have) since the November 4th episode did 528,000.

As a reminder (and noted above), Nielsen has changed its ratings system as of early September, which makes ratings difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said, NXT is averaging a 0.146 demo rating and 680,000 viewers in 2025 to date, compared to a 0.185 and 645,000 for the same period in 2024.

WWE NXT airs Tuesday nights on The CW domestically and Netflix internationally.
