WWE NXT Rating Holds Steady, Viewership Hits Six-Week High

This week’s episode of WWE NXT saw its rating hold steady with last week’s upswing, while the audience hit a six-week high. Tuesday night’s show brought in a 0.09 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 610,000 viewers per Programming Insider. Those numbers were even with and up 11.3% respectively from the previous week’s 0.09 demo rating and audience of 548,000.

The demo rating remains (with last week) the best for the show since the May 5th episode had a 0.11. The total viewership, meanwhile, was the highest since that same May 5th episode’s 641,000. The FIFA World Cup led the way on FOX with a 2.99 demo rating and 9.082 million viewers, followed by the pre-game show (1.60 demo rating, 4.993 million)

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 0.084 demo rating and 593,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.164 and 717,000 for the same time period in 2025.
