WWE NXT hit a concerning milestone on October 20: the show drew 655,000 viewers on The CW, dropping below the 700,000 mark. According to Wrestlenomics, the number is down sharply from the 732,000 viewers the show drew the previous week.

NXT Viewership: Demo Rating Also Slides
Tuesday’s episode scored a 0.10 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic, down from the 0.14 demo rating the show recorded the week before. Both metrics point to a soft week for the developmental brand, which has been a rare consistent performer on The CW.
What Happened on the Show
The most-watched YouTube highlights from the episode suggest where fans’ attention went: Zilla Fatu boosting El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno over BirthRight, a full match between Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox, and Kelani Jordan brutalizing Kendal Grey in a message to Wren Sinclair all ranked among the top clips. The numbers will be worth watching next week to see if this was a one-off dip or the start of a trend.
