NXT Viewership Soars with July 22 Episode Featuring The Undertaker – WWE NXT saw a significant spike in viewership for its July 22 episode, drawing an average of 747,000 viewers on the CW Network, according to Programming Insider. This marks a major increase from the 586,000 viewers the show pulled in on July 15, representing a week-over-week jump of nearly 28%.
This figure makes the July 22 episode the most-watched NXT broadcast since February 25, 2025, which averaged 799,000 viewers. The show also performed strongly in the key 18–49 demographic, securing a 0.16 rating—up from 0.12 the previous Tuesday. These numbers reflect a continued upward trend in NXT’s performance since moving to CW, especially when marquee names are involved.
Part of the viewership boost can likely be attributed to the appearance by The Undertaker, who made headlines with a segment that saw him deliver a powerful chokeslam to NXT Champion Trick Williams. The moment quickly became viral, topping WWE’s YouTube chart for the week with over 1.1 million views.
The July 22 show was stacked with talent from across the NXT roster, including Oba Femi, Ethan Page, Sol Ruca, Blake Monroe, Jasper Troy, Ricky Saints, Wren Sinclair, Josh Briggs, Shawn Spears, and more. NXT also continued to spotlight rising stars like Tatum Paxley, Hank Walker, and Tank Ledger. Ethan Page revealed a redesigned North American Championship belt during the show, another highlight that caught fan attention online.
The episode was held at the 713 Music Hall in Houston, Texas—a city that had just hosted Monday Night RAW the night prior at the Toyota Center. That back-to-back scheduling in the same market likely helped maintain fan momentum across both nights.
