Viewership Drops for WWE NXT’s Pre-Recorded Holiday Episode

Nov. 21’s episode did some of NXT’s lowest numbers in months, but that wasn’t entirely unexpected.

The ratings and viewership data are in for the Nov. 21 edition of WWE NXT.

According to Wrestlenomics, the episode’s total viewership was 622,000 and it did a .19 rating among 18-49 year olds. That’s down from the previous Tuesday. It’s also the lowest demo number in two months, and smallest overall audience in nearly three months.

None of which is terribly unexpected given it wasn’t live, and the reason it was taped in advance was because it’s Thanksgiving week. The rating is much improved over the same week in 2022, so WWE officials aren’t sweating this one.

NXT will be back live next Tuesday with the second to last episode before their Deadline premium live event. We’ll see that does. In the meantime, here’s a rundown of NXT’s audience and ratings share of the 18-49 demographic over the past year:

Nov. 22, 2022 – 624,000 / .12

Nov. 29 – 644,000 / .13

Dec. 6– 534,000 / .13

Dec. 13 – 666,000 / .17

Dec. 20 – 705,000 / .15

Dec. 27 – 588,000 / .12

Jan. 3, 2023 – 653,000 / .16
