NXT 697K

May 12, 2021 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

NXT on the USA Network drew 697,000 viewers on Tuesday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. 

In its 5th week running unopposed to AEW, the NXT brand took a dip this week falling yet again after its high of 841,000 viewers on April 20th.

April 13th:  805,000

April 20th:  841,000

April 27th: 744,000

May 4th:  761,0000

May 11th:  697,000

The telecast was 25th overall in cable and drew a 0.17 in the A18-49 demo, 0.11  F18-49, 0.22 M18-49, 0.07 A18-34, 0.06 F12-34, 0.12 M12-34, 0.21 A25-54, and 0.38 in over 50.

Payout Perspective:

The ratings should be concerning for NXT.  With the NBA Playoffs looming, ratings are starting to pickup as the NBA on TNT drew the top two ratings on Tuesday night in cable.  Yet, the drop without AEW as a competitor has to be disconcerting for the show.
