WWE NXT Experiences Decline in Viewership and Ratings

The Nov. 14 edition of WWE NXT saw a decline in ratings and viewership, with a total audience of 703,000 and a .21 rating among 18-49 year olds. This is lower than previous weeks but still an improvement from the same week in 2022. The lack of a loaded card and absence of big names from the main roster may have contributed to the decline. Additionally, the return of the NBA may have drawn some viewers away. The upcoming pre-taped show and holiday weekend may further impact viewership.
