NXT Viewership Rises on October 14 Episode Featuring Battle Royal Main Event – The October 14 episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network drew 690,000 viewers, showing an increase from the 625,000 viewers the show recorded on October 7 for the NXT vs. TNA Showdown. The episode maintained a 0.12 rating in the key 18–49 demographic, matching the previous week’s performance.
Tuesday’s broadcast opened with a promo from NXT Champion Ricky Saints, who issued a challenge to Trick Williams for a title match at Halloween Havoc. Williams responded via the tron, making it clear that any confrontation would happen on his own terms.
The in-ring action began with AAA Latin American Champion Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. defeating Lexis King. Later in the night, Josh Briggs picked up a decisive win over Matt Cardona, marking Cardona’s first WWE match in five years.
In the main event, Tatum Paxley emerged victorious in a 20-woman battle royal to become the new number one contender for Jacy Jayne’s NXT Women’s Championship. Paxley’s win solidified her position as one of NXT’s fastest-rising stars heading into Halloween Havoc.
Nielsen recently updated its television ratings methodology, which may influence how viewership numbers are calculated moving forward.
