This week’s episode of WWE NXT was up in the ratings, while the total viewership hit its highest point since February. Tuesday night’s episode scored a 0.11 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 668,000 viewers per Programming Insider. Those numbers were up 22.2% and 9.5% respectively from the previous week’s 0.09 demo rating and audience of 610,000.
The demo rating was the best for the show since the May 5th episode also had a 0.11. Meanwhile, the total viewership was the highest since the Fabuary 17th show had an audience of 744,000. The FIFA World Cup led the way on FOX with a 2.06 demo rating and 6.778 million viewers, followed by the post-game show (1.03 demo rating, 3.569 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 0.085 demo rating and 596,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.164 and 717,000 for the same time period in 2025.
