WWE NXT averaged 532,000 viewers on The CW on Oct. 6, down 21% from the previous Tuesday, according to figures confirmed by Wrestlenomics and released Oct. 8.

The two-hour broadcast drew 139,000 fewer viewers than the Sept. 29 episode, which averaged 671,000. That earlier show had risen from 628,000 the preceding week, according to Pro Wrestling Dot Net's report citing Wrestlenomics.

NXT's adults 18–49 rating declined to 0.10 from 0.11. Its total audience was also 21% below the trailing four-week average of 674,000 in the latest Wrestlenomics report.

The total-viewer count covers people aged 2 and older. The adults 18–49 rating is a separate demographic measure, so the two figures should not be treated as interchangeable audience totals.

AEW Dynamite aired on the same Tuesday and averaged 495,000 viewers on TBS with a 0.11 adults 18–49 rating. NXT therefore had the larger total TV audience, while Dynamite recorded the higher adult rating. Wrestlenomics identifies Dynamite as a displaced airing.
