NXT 2.0 Ratings Report (12/14/21): Viewership drops, but key demo improves
The ratings are in for WWE's Tuesday Night program, NXT 2.0, and there is a slight improvement from last week's near-disasterous numbers.
NXT 2.0 suffered a serious rating set back last week following their historic WarGames. The episode also saw the departures of both Kyle O'Reilly and, the Heart of NXT, Johnny Gargano; even with WWE teasing announcements from both superstars, viewers did not tune in as expected, as NXT 2.0 only was able to pull in 590,000 viewers on the USA Network, which was down 7.37% from the week prior.
While NXT 2.0 went down in the overall ratings, WWE would be happy to know that NXT 2.0 did improve in the much sought after 18-49 demo.
"The show drew 561,000 live viewers, which is down from the 590,000 viewers the show previously drew a week ago... It did a 0.13 rating for the 18-49 demographic. The show did a 0.11 rating one week ago which tied the lowest key demo rating the show has done on the USA Network since moving to the station in 2019." (WrestlingNews.com)
That’s up 19% from last week in P18-49, but the lowest total viewership for NXT since February 10 and down 5% from last week.
The decrease in total viewership was driven by P50+. Most other demos were up compared to recent weeks.
