WWE NXT viewership took a notable hit this week as the show faced heavy sports competition.
The October 21, 2025 episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network averaged 525,000 viewers, according to PWTorch.com. By comparison, that is down from the 690,000 viewers who tuned in on October 14, 2025, marking the lowest total since the brand’s move to The CW Network back on October 1, 2024.
In the key 18 to 49 year old demographic, WWE NXT pulled a 0.07 rating, down from 0.12 the previous week. The number ties the lowest demo rating in show history.
