Tuesday night’s NXT averaged 751,000 viewers on USA Network, up 10.2 percent from the last time the show aired on the station three weeks ago. It was the highest viewership for NXT since the May 4 episode.
In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.19 rating. That’s down five percent from the previous USA Network airing, so the audience skewed much older this week.
Like when AEW Dynamite was forced to move nights, the viewers seemed to have no trouble finding the show again after two weeks of NXT being moved to Syfy due to the Olympics.
Year-over-year, NXT was up 21.3 percent in overall viewers and up 18.8 percent in the 18-49 demo. That’s comparing to when NXT was running head-to-head with Dynamite, but this is the third straight episode on USA Network where NXT has had double digit increases in both categories.
As compared to the previous 10 weeks the show aired on USA Network, as shown in the chart below, NXT was up 10.5 percent in overall viewers and up 11.8 percent in 18-49.
