WWE NXT 2.0 viewership dropped on March 1.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, 551,000 viewers watched the show on Tuesday night; this number is down from last week, when 612,000 viewers watched the show. The March 1 figure is the show’s lowest on USA Network since January 13. In the 18 to 49 demographic, NXT scored a 0.13 rating (165,000 viewers), which is up from last week (0.12 rating).
Thurston also noted that, per Showbuzz Daily, NXT didn’t rank in the top 50 in the demo on Tuesday, as coverage of the State of the Union Address dominated television. He later noted that it placed #70.
Telecasts of the State of the Union address and related coverage across broadcast and cable dominated Tuesday night, as expected.
NXT finished somewhere below the top 50 in P18-49 for the day. Showbuzz should have it soon.

Correction/clarification to my first tweet: This was the lowest total viewership for NXT on USA in more than a year, since January 13, *2021*.
NXT ranked #70 in P18-49 for Tuesday against strong competition.
