WWE NXT viewership decreased on December 6, which closed with an episode of The Grayson Waller Effect in the main event time slot.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, 534,000 viewers tuned in on Tuesday, which is down from last week (644,000 viewers). This marked the lowest total viewership number for the show since the May 31 episode.
In the 18 to 49 demographic, NXT scored a 0.13 rating, which is the same rating that last week’s episode drew. Thurston noted that NXT ranked #36 among cable originals in the key demographic. NBA games on TNT led TV on Tuesday night, as they both drew over one million viewers.
This was NXT's lowest total viewership since May 31, 2022, down 17% from last week. Decline in P18-49 was more mild, down 3% from last week.
NBA games on TNT led cable with 1.37 million and 1.04 million viewers, respectively, according to Showbuzz Daily.https://t.co/rSoJKLzNMc pic.twitter.com/WSN9oOqxid
