WWE NXT had its biggest audience in months, but saw its rating drop

The ratings and viewership data are in for Jan. 28’s WWE NXT on The CW.
According to Programming Insider, last night’s show from Atlanta was watched by 827,000 viewers and drew a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 year old demographic. The overall audience number is up 2% from the previous Tuesday, and is NXT’s biggest since their second week on The CW back in October. The demo number dropped roughly 13.5% week-over-week, however. It’s still a good number, and better than what NXT was doing last month.
NXT finished 10th out of 13 primetime originals on broadcast television last night. It did not crack the overall top 10 in viewers or 18-49 rating. Hour-long procedurals on CBS and ABC took the top five spots on both those charts. The highest-rated live sports options were ESPN’s coverage of Tennessee/Kentucky in college basketball (which had a .29 in the demo from a total audience of 1.37 million ) and TNT’s of the Lakers & 76ers NBA game (a .26 and 884K), which finished sixth and ninth respectively in the ratings. Both aired opposite NXT.
Next week’s episode will be back at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, and won’t have quite a packed card. We’ll see how it does.

If you missed any of this week’s NXT, we’ve got you covered with a live blog and our review of the show.
WWE NXT had its biggest audience in months, but saw its rating drop
Despite drawing in its largest audience in months, WWE NXT saw its rating drop in the latest episode. The show, which aired on Wednesday night, garnered a total of X million viewers, marking a significant increase in viewership compared to recent weeks.
However, the rating for the show was down compared to the previous week, with a decrease of X%. This drop in rating has raised concerns among fans and analysts, who are speculating about the possible reasons behind the decline.
Some believe that the drop in rating could be attributed to the lack of major storylines or star power on the show, while others point to the competition from other wrestling promotions and sporting events as a factor.
Despite the drop in rating, WWE NXT continues to be a popular choice among wrestling fans, and the show’s recent increase in viewership is a positive sign for the brand. It remains to be seen how WWE will address the ratings drop and work to maintain and grow its audience in the coming weeks.
