Last Saturday, “WWE NXT” presented their biggest show of the year, Stand & Deliver, which featured Lola Vice winning the NXT Women’s Championship, Sol Ruca getting her revenge on Zaria, and Tony D’Angelo becoming the new NXT Champion. Like WWE would’ve hoped, the events from last weekend led viewership for the following episode of “NXT” to increase, with the show drawing its best numbers since February. 

According to Wrestlenomics and Programming Insider, “NXT” pulled in 605,000 viewers and posted a 0.08 in the key 18-49 demographic. When comparing both categories to the previous week, total viewership increased by 6%, while the 18-49 demo stayed even at 0.08. Additionally, the developmental brand managed to improve its viewership despite going head-to-head with NBA and NHL action on Tuesday, both of which had 10 or more games on the night. Overall, “NXT’s” audience for its latest episode ranked higher than its viewership for the past four weeks.

Although “NXT” recorded some impressive figures this past Tuesday, the program’s overall viewership has decreased by 10% since this time last year. That said, perhaps more concerning is the brand’s numbers in the 18-49 demo, which has declined by 50% since April 2025. Going forward, it remains to be seen if “NXT’s” new champions and the fallout from Stand & Deliver will help WWE’s third brand continue its momentum, or if viewership will begin to taper off now that the Premium Live Event has passed, especially with WrestleMania season coming to an end next week.

Last month, The Usos lost the WWE World Tag Team Championships to Logan Paul and Austin Theory when “WWE Raw” was held from Madison Square Garden in New York City, but before the match, the brothers debuted a new theme song that had been in the works for months. Following the episode, it was initially believed that The Usos would be walking into WrestleMania 42 with the new entrance music, but according to a new report, plans regarding the theme changed after Jey and Jimmy lost their titles.

On Thursday, Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select reported that the new theme song for The Usos has been “tabled” for now after the crowd reaction to it was underwhelming. Going into WrestleMania 42, WWE management wants The Usos to walk out to a more interactive theme, with their entrance music usually being a way to get the audience engaged during any part of a show.

For the past nine years, The Usos have been accompanied by the song “Done With That,” while on their way to the ring, which has been one of the more popular themes in WWE’s tag team division over the last decade. Additionally, when The Usos began their individual singles runs, Jey’s “Main Event Ish” was arguably the most popular entrance theme in the company, with fans taking a liking to both the music and the “Yeeting” that comes with it. Going forward, it remains to be seen if WWE will create another version of the new theme that debuted at Madison Square Garden, or if The Usos will revert to “Done With That” next week at WrestleMania.

It doesn’t seem as though there would be many out there that could inspire AEW star MJF. After all, the 30 year old is now a two-time AEW Men’s World Champion, arguably the biggest star in the promotion, and perhaps the most successful homegrown wrestler AEW has ever developed. But even with all that working for him, and the fact that he has no trouble reminding people of his accolades, MJF even has people that he looks to for inspiration.

During an appearance on “Games with Names,” MJF was asked by host Julian Edelman who inspired him. The AEW Champ named a WWE star who he has recently befriended, and an actor whom MJF feels a kinship with due to their similar paths towards success.

“So I’m going to say, even though I think he’s in hot water now for a really dumb reason, Timothee Chalamet specifically,” MJF said. “What he’s been able to accomplish at such a young age, you want to talk about a student of the game, this guy lives and breathes and dies acting, clearly, and he takes his craft incredibly seriously. And he’s so young. 

“I feel like a kindred spirit to him in that sense, because in my industry, all the top guys, one of them which you met, my good friend Seth Rollins, f*****g great professional wrestler. Incredible. He’s also a great football analyst. The guy’s the man…He’s killing it. But a lot of the guys that are in a top position are in their 40s and 50s. And it’s the same thing in my sport. A lot of the guys are in their 40s and 50s. I’m 29, about to be 30. So I’m, by a wide margin, to be honest, the youngest top guy in my industry right now. And that doesn’t happen unless you just dedicate your life to something. So I respect Timothee Chalament in that sense.”
