Tuesday night's NXT averaged 751,000 viewers on USA Network, up 10.2 percent from the last time the show aired on the station three weeks ago. It was the highest viewership for NXT since the May 4 episode.

In the 18-49 demo, NXT drew a 0.19 rating. That's down five percent from the previous USA Network airing, so the audience skewed much older this week.

Like when AEW Dynamite was forced to move nights, the viewers seemed to have no trouble finding the show again after two weeks of NXT being moved to Syfy due to the Olympics.

Year-over-year, NXT was up 21.3 percent in overall viewers and up 18.8 percent in the 18-49 demo. That's comparing to when NXT was running head-to-head with Dynamite, but this is the third straight episode on USA Network where NXT has had double digit increases in both categories.

Sucks that the first show that gets the most people is also the episode that apparently made most reviewers quit.

Yeah. One would assume the number will go down next week as a result.
