The ratings and viewership data are in for the July 22 episode of WWE NXT on The CW.
According to Programming Insider, this week’s episode was watched by 747,000 viewers and drew a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 year old demographic. That means a 27% bigger audience than the week before tuned in to see The Undertaker chokeslam TNA champ Trick Williams, and deliver NXT’s best viewership number since a February episode that featured The Hardys first WWE match since 2019. The demo was up 33%, but only to a level
the show hits regularly.
There wasn’t much competing against the Dead Man & company. The WNBA game on ESPN was the only nationally televised live option. That featured Caitlin Clark’s team but not Clark, and led the cable ratings with a .20 from 1.18 million viewers. Overall, NBC’s America’s Got Talent led the way with an audience of 3.77 million and a .33 in the demo. NXT finished fifth on broadcast and sixth overall in the ratings for the night.
Was it Taker? A bump from the big NXT presence on TNA’s Slammiversary PPV this past Sunday night? Or... sunnamagum... maybe it was the Santino Marella factor?
