NXT Viewership Drops for May 6 Episode Amid Playoff Competition

NXT Viewership Drops for May 6 Episode Amid Playoff Competition – The May 6, 2025 episode of WWE NXT experienced a slight dip in overall viewership and demographic ratings, as reported by Programming Insider. The show averaged 652,000 total viewers, a drop from the 674,000 viewers who tuned in the previous week on April 29.

In the key 18–49 demographic, NXT earned a 0.14 rating, down slightly from the 0.15 it achieved the week prior. The show faced stiff competition from the NBA Playoffs on TNT and the NHL Playoffs on ESPN, which likely contributed to the decline in numbers.

Despite the lower ratings, WWE NXT generated strong engagement on YouTube, with several segments from the May 6 broadcast attracting significant views. Among the most popular clips was the return of a familiar face from TNA Wrestling.

  4. Trick Williams helps DarkState crush Joe Hendry and Hank & Tank – 88K views

The May 6 episode featured major cross-promotional appearances, including TNA’s Elijah and a high-profile showdown between Giulia and Jordynne Grace, but the heavy playoff sports schedule may have hindered overall live viewership.
