WWE NXT universe recently witnessed one of the biggest matches in its history as Seth Rollins came down from the main roster to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker in an event that captivated viewers across the globe.
The match, coupled with the lack of competition from NBA and NHL playoffs, created a significant upsurge in ratings and viewership for the wrestling brand.
According to ShowBuzzDaily and Wrestlenomics, the June 20 "NXT" episode averaged 773,000 viewers, a remarkable 33% increase from the previous week. The "key demo" most valued by advertisers, which are the adults aged 18 to 49, made up approximately 300,000 of these viewers, representing an impressive 46% uptick from the preceding week.
This figure translates to a 0.23 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic, which ranked "NXT" second in ShowBuzzDaily's rankings of Tuesday's cable originals – the highest the show has ever achieved in its near-four year run on USA Network.
