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.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
