WWE NXT viewership increased in a big way on October 12.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, 737,000 viewers watched the show on Tuesday. This is up from last week, when 625,000 viewers tuned in. Tuesday’s viewership number is NXT’s highest since the Halloween Havoc special episode on October 26, 2021.
In the 18 to 49 demographic, NXT scored a 0.15 and ranked #14 among cable originals. Last week, NXT scored a 0.13. NXT faced stiff competition in both an MLB Playoff game and an NHL regular season game.
NXT's highest total viewership since the Halloween Havoc 2021. P18-49 only the highest since Sep 22 of this year.
NXT viewership was high despite going against Yankees-Guardians division series on TBS and NHL regular season on ESPN.
