Tuesday night's episode of NXT
averaged 663,000 viewers on the USA Network, almost identical to last week's 664,000 viewers. Despite the show featuring two title matches, it's the lowest viewership total for NXT since October 4.

NXT had stronger-than-usual sports competition with a college basketball game on ESPN averaging more than two million viewers (0.54 rating in 18-49) and the NBA on TNT averaging one million viewers (0.37 in 18-49). Both of those games aired head-to-head with NXT.
NXT's ratings were up from last week in most categories. The biggest increase came with women 18-49, which were up 66.7 percent to a 0.15 rating. That's NXT's highest rating in that demo since September 21, 2021. The biggest decline was with males 12-34, which were down 18.2 percent.
