The 16 November episode of WWE NXT 2.0 fell to a new ratings low, as the brand posted its lowest ever P18-49 numbers on USA Network.

As originally reported by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, a total of 574,000 viewers watched last night's episode, including 143,000 people in the key 18-49 demographic. This made for a rating of 0.11, with NXT finishing 55th on the night amongst original cable telecasts.

The numbers are down from last week, when NXT drew 603,000 viewers including 192,000 aged 18-49.

This is the developmental brand's worst week in the 18-49 demographic since being moved from WWE Network to USA Network in September 2019. NXT's 3 August 2021 episode posted worse numbers, with 135,000 P18-49 viewers comprising a 0.10 rating, though this broadcast was preempted to Syfy.

Additionally, NXT hasn't seen overall viewership as low as this week's since the 10 February 2021 episode, prior to the move from Wednesdays to Tuesdays.
