This week’s episode of WWE NXT delivered a consistent 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic while drawing 629,000 viewers, marking a slight 6.7% decline in total audience from the previous week’s 674,000, according to Wrestlenomics. The demo rating remained unchanged from last week’s figure, reflecting stability in the core target audience.
Trends in Ratings and Audience Over Recent Weeks
The show‘s 0.08 demo rating has held steady for three consecutive weeks after initial higher marks of 0.10 and 0.09 in early 2026. Although viewership decreased slightly from last week, it remains above the 608,000 viewers recorded two weeks ago, representing the second-largest audience of the year so far. On the same night, the NFL Pro Bowl topped the ratings with a 0.55 demo rating broadcast on ESPN.
Impact of Nielsen’s Measurement Changes and Year-over-Year Comparison
Last week, Nielsen revised its Big Data + Panel measurement system, complicating direct comparisons to previous periods. Despite this, WWE NXT’s average demo rating in 2026 stands at 0.086 with 631,000 viewers, down from 0.198 and 797,000 respectively during the first four weeks of 2025. These changes highlight ongoing challenges in tracking precise audience trends for the show.
