NXT Viewership Jumps to Highest Since July – The February 17 episode of WWE NXT delivered a strong rebound in total viewers, marking the show’s best audience since last summer.

The broadcast averaged 744,000 viewers on The CW. That figure represents a 17 percent increase from the previous week’s 637,000 viewers. It is also the highest total for NXT since July 22, 2025 and the best viewership numbers of the year.

Despite the rise in overall audience, the key 18-49 demographic declined. NXT posted a 0.09 rating in the demo, which is down 25 percent from the prior week. The episode aired under the updated Nielsen Data+Big Panel system that went into effect on January 23.

The show was headlined by NXT North American Champion Ethan Page defending his title against Shiloh Hill. The card also featured a four-way NXT Tag Team Title eliminator match and the finals of an eliminator tournament to determine a challenger for the men’s Speed Championship.

On YouTube, several segments from the episode drew notable interest. The most viewed clip was Myles Borne attacking Ethan Page after the main event, targeting Page’s ankle in a post-match assault that generated 136,000 views.

Other top-performing videos included Zaria saving Sol Ruca from Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence with 130,000 views, Lola Vice facing Kelani Jordan in a singles match with 76,000 views, Ricky Saints issuing a challenge to Joe Hendry for the NXT Championship with 68,000 views, and the full match between Ethan Page and Shiloh Hill with 48,000 views.
