8/10 WWE NXT Viewership, Demographic Rating Rises With Return To USA Network

The viewership for WWE NXT increased on August 10, likely due to the show’s return to the USA Network.

According to the PWTorch, 751,000 viewers watched NXT on Tuesday, a noteworthy rise from the 520,000 viewers who watched the show for each of the past two weeks during a temporary move to SyFy.

Wade Keller of the PWTorch notes that the show’s overall cable rating was 0.58, the highest it has been since May 4. For comparison, this week’s viewershi number was an increase over the past two shows on USA Network (709,000 and 707,000 viewers.) In the 18 to 49 demographic, the rating jumped from 0.10 last week to 0.19 on August 10. The male demographic rating almost doubled, as the number rose from 0.14 to 0.27. The last two weeks on USA Network drew a 0.26 emographic rating.

This week’s episode built up NXT TakeOver 36 and featured a main event between Ilja Dragunov and Pete Dunne.
