The Tuesday, July 1, 2025, edition of WWE NXT on The CW attracted an average of 627,000 total viewers. The program scored a 0.15 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic. This performance represents a decrease from the prior week’s 729,000 viewers and 0.16 demo rating, marking the lowest viewership for a regular Tuesday episode of NXT in 2025.
The broadcast was headlined by a #1 Contender’s Match for the NXT Championship, which saw Yoshiki Inamura defeat Jasper Troy to earn a title shot against champion Oba Femi. The show also featured significant crossover with TNA Wrestling; the opening match saw TNA’s Joe Hendry defeat Wes Lee, with an appearance by fellow TNA star Mike Santana. TNA World Champion Trick Williams was also on commentary for the match. Other notable events included Luca Crusifino officially leaving The D’Angelo Family and the return of Blake Monroe, who saved Jordynne Grace from an attack by the group Fatal Influence.
Despite the overall viewership dip, the program showed significant strength with its male audience. NXT’s 0.21 rating among males 18-49 placed The CW as the second-highest-rated network of the night in that specific demographic. The show’s audience also grew throughout its two-hour broadcast, starting with 612,000 viewers and peaking at 685,000 in the final half-hour.
The show faced a competitive television landscape. On broadcast networks, NXT was up against popular reruns, including America’s Got Talent on NBC, which drew over 3 million viewers, and a block of NCIS franchise repeats on CBS. On cable, competition included live sports like the FIFA Club World Cup on TNT and a Major League Baseball game on TBS, in addition to the highly-rated news programs on Fox News, which were the most-watched programs of the night.
