WWE NXT viewership climbs to 691,000, rating hits 0.12 on July 7, 2026

WWE NXT aired on The CW on July 7, 2026 and attracted an average of 691,000 viewers, posting a 0.12 rating in the key 18‑49 demographic. That represents a 16.7% increase in total audience and a 71.4% rise in the demo compared with the previous week’s 592,000 viewers and 0.07 rating. The episode featured a women’s championship match where Kendal Grey retained her title against Nattie and was the best‑performing NXT show since the February 10 episode.

The following night, AEW Dynamite on TBS drew 773,000 viewers and also earned a 0.12 rating in the 18‑49 group, up 21.9% in total audience and 33.3% in the demo from the prior week. Both programs posted their highest ratings since mid‑June, benefitting from reduced competition with the concluding FIFA World Cup matches.

Overall, the NXT episode marked the second‑most‑watched broadcast of the year for the developmental brand and continued a modest year‑over‑year growth in viewership, while the 18‑49 demo remains below last‑year levels.
