1/28 NXT Tops 800,000 Viewers for Second Straight Week – The January 28 episode of WWE NXT saw an uptick in viewership, continuing its strong performance to kick off 2025. According to Programming Insider, NXT drew 827,000 viewers, an increase from the 812,000 viewers it garnered on January 21. This marks the show’s highest viewership since October 8, 2024.
