WWE NXT Viewership Substantially Drops On 7/27 With Temporary Move To SyFy

The viewership for WWE NXT dipped this week, likely due to the show’s temporary move to SyFy.

The Pro Wrestling torch reports that 520,000 viewers watched the July 27 episode, a substantial decrease from the 709,000 viewers the show drew last week. In the 18 to 49 demographic, the show scored a 0.12 rating, which is a significant drop from last week’s 0.20 rating.

This viewership number is NXT’s lowest number in recent memory. The black-and-gold brand will also air on SyFy next week before it returns to USA Network.

The July 27 episode, along with next week’s program, was pre-taped, and spoilers started circulating last week. This week’s show featured a main event match between Bronson Reed and Adam Cole. Plus, the NXT Championship match between Samoa Joe and Karrion Kross was confirmed for NXT TakeOver 36.
