WWE NXT viewership ratings saw a slight improvement as the show wrapped up the year on the CW Network. The Tuesday, December 30 episode averaged 604,000 viewers, just above the 602,000 recorded on December 23, according to Programming Insider.
Though the overall audience grew marginally, the ratings among the key 18–49 demographic moved in the opposite direction. This episode posted a 0.07 rating in that demo, which is a slight dip compared to the previous week’s 0.08. Even so, WWE’s programming finished the year maintaining consistent interest from its fanbase.
Main Event Showcases Rising NXT Talent
The final NXT broadcast of 2025 was headlined by a notable singles contest between Ricky Saints and Je’Von Evans. The main event was a focal point, drawing attention to both wrestlers as they competed for a strong finish to the year. In addition to the primary bout, the episode highlighted appearances from other familiar faces, including Tatum Paxley, Ethan Page, Izzi Dame, Moose, Lexis King, Joe Hendry, Jacy Jayne, and more, emphasizing the range of talent present in the brand’s roster.
Viewership Steady Despite Demographic Decline
While the slight slip in the 18–49 demographic highlights an area to monitor, the consistent total viewership suggests WWE NXT continues to hold its ground in a competitive television landscape. With wrestlers like Tommaso Ciampa and Jacy Jayne, along with the ongoing build toward major events such as Road to Royal Rumble updates and notable returns, the show’s lineup remains a key draw for weekly audiences. The show’s presence on the CW and engagement from viewers demonstrate NXT’s continued relevance as the brand enters another year.
As WWE NXT prepares for 2026, performers like Je’Von Evans, Ricky Saints, Lexis King, and others look set to play pivotal roles in future storylines, while viewership trends will continue to be closely watched by industry observers and fans alike.
