In the world of sports entertainment, it’s all about the ratings, and this week’s WWE NXT broadcast had a lot to prove after last week’s lackluster performance. Fortunately, the stars aligned for the NXT crew as the numbers were up for Tuesday night’s show.
According to Showbuzz Daily, NXT’s live broadcast on USA Network garnered an average of 565,000 viewers, a solid increase from last week’s disappointing 528,000. It’s a relief for the NXT team who had seen their ratings hit an all-time low in over a year.
The key ratings demo for the coveted P18-49 age range saw NXT pull in a 0.14 rating, a slight improvement from last week’s 0.13 rating. And while it may not be a huge jump, any improvement in the ratings is welcomed news for the NXT team.
In the rankings, NXT moved up from last week’s 18th spot to 17th, a modest but respectable climb. However, more was needed to top the night’s ratings, as the NBA Playoffs game featuring the LA Clippers vs. the Phoenix Suns on TNT took the top spot with an impressive 1.51 rating in the key demo and 3.860 million viewers.
Overall, it’s a solid performance for the NXT team, and it’ll be interesting to see if they can continue to build on this momentum in the coming weeks. The world of sports entertainment is always evolving, and it’s clear that the NXT team is ready to step up to the challenge.
