This week’s Super Tuesday II edition of NXT, which featured Finn Balor vs. Adam Cole for the vacant NXT Championship and a steel cage main event between Rhea Ripley and Mercedes Martinez, averaged 838,000 viewers, down 1.3 percent from last week. 

The show ranked 15th on cable in the 18-49 demo with a 0.22 rating, down 15.4 percent from last Tuesday. Despite no AEW competition, there were NBA playoff games on TNT. The late game went against the second half of NXT and averaged 4.65 million viewers.

Though it was down from last week, the viewership was NXT’s third highest of 2020.

Here’s a look at the other demo categories and how they compared to last week’s NXT, which also aired on Tuesday: Women 18-49 — 0.15 (down 21.1 percent), men 18-49 — 0.29 (down 12.1 percent), people 18-34 — 0.09 (down 35.7 percent), females 12-34 — 0.06 (down 45.5 percent), males 12-34 — 0.14 (down 22.2 percent), people 25-54 — 0.28 (down 6.7 percent), and people over 50 — 0.43 (up 7.5 percent).

Ratings for the cable news channels, which do really well in NXT’s strongest demo, were way down this Tuesday. That explains the viewership for the show remaining steady despite ratings dropping in every demo except people over 50. 

NXT returns to Wednesday night next week.
