Tuesday’s live post-WarGames edition of NXT 2.0 drew 590,000 viewers, down 7.37% from last week’s 637,000 viewers.
Tuesday’s NXT episode drew a 0.11 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, down 27% from last week’s 0.15 rating in the key demo. The 0.11 rating represents 148,000 viewers.
Tuesday’s NXT drew the best second-lowest audience on the USA Network since the move to Tuesdays in April. The 0.11 key demo rating was tied with the November 16 episode for the lowest key demo rating in NXT history. The show had some sports competition from the NBA and college basketball.
The show featured several happenings advertised ahead of time – fallout from Sunday’s WarGames event, Kyle O’Reilly vs. Von Wagner in the Steel Cage opener, NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes vs. Dexter Lumis in a non-title match, Santos Escobar vs. Xyon Quinn, the reveal of The Shaman to MSK, and Johnny Gargano “explaining everything” to the NXT Universe amid rumors of his departure, which was the show-closing segment.
