The December 3 episode of WWE NXT saw a slight drop in viewership and ratings. Programming Insider reports that the show attracted 593,000 viewers, a decline from the 632,000 who tuned in on November 26. The 18-49 demographic rating also dipped to 0.13, down from 0.15.
Despite the decrease in live viewership, key moments from the episode performed well on YouTube. The most-viewed video was Roxanne Perez’s chaotic segment leading up to NXT Deadline, amassing 126,000 views.
