WWE NXT Viewership Sees Increase
Following The Great American Bash event, WWE NXT returned to its regular time slot on the USA Network with the August 13 episode. The show featured Wes Lee explaining his actions, three championships on the line, and the No Mercy Premium Live Event card being announced.
– Average viewership for the August 13 episode stood at 617,000 viewers, showing a 16% increase from the previous week.
– This viewership number is the highest NXT has seen since the episode before the Summer Olympics, which was aired on the SyFy channel.
– Despite the recent rise in viewership, there is a slight decrease compared to the same period in the previous year, with 13% more viewers in the same quarter of 2022 and 12% more in August 2022.
– However, the key 18-49 demographic number saw a decrease on the August 13 episode with a 0.14 rating, down by 12% from the previous week.
– This demographic number has also seen a 30% decrease compared to the average of the previous four weeks and the same period in 2022.
– In the same quarter of 2022, NXT is showing a 10% decline in viewers aged 18-49.
Despite the drop in the 18-49 demographic, the overall viewership for WWE NXT is on the rise, indicating a positive trend for the show. The upcoming No Mercy Premium Live Event on September 1 promises to contribute to this momentum and attract more viewers in the future.
