I never imagined it would be anywhere near that bad.

On the one hand, I want to put this down to The Olympics but...if Raw could hold steady when it moved networks and NXT couldn't? Yeesh....

Obviously there's a lot going into why it was that low but it's still lower than you would expect given what RAW did and what NXT did when they were moved over before. Like that 18-49 number is significantly closer to Impact than it is to Rampage which is not good to say the least.

3.0 incoming....back to the network.

I mean RAW held much steadier in comparison and this is down 120K viewers from the last time NXT had to move to SyFy

The writing's pretty much on the wall, this doesn't really feel like a sustainable TV product anymore, and that's entirely on Vince going in a completely different direction this f***ing fast and just telling everyone to accept it. ...They aren't.

This was because there was no Cameron Grimes or Dexter Lumis.

The show just gets viewers too horny. You can't expect them to watch every week. They can't handle this many erections.

[mistery]

The overreliance on horny is killing them. I'm not even joking anymore. It's like a terrible high school drama at this point.

Vince is trying to turn us into Meat?

(Just hope we don't stupidly record other wrestlers' conversations or run into walls)

Hey Grimes ran his political add.

Sadly they cant get their die hard fans to turn in for some reason - f*** knows why given the dross on the main shows they will put up with - and the rest are just so down on the product because it isnt the super indie they liked before, they are just tuning in to shit it on Twitter.

I still think it's the best show WWE puts out, and the most fun I have watching wrestling every week.

If it goes away, so does my interest in anything to do with WWE, and with AEW's ping pong scheduling in the UK I miss it half the time, so it'd probably be time for me to go another wrestling break.

Because the other posters said it too classy, lol.

Between the network switch and the Olympics, taking a hit was going to be inevitable. A drop of 100k or so is going to be a lot more noticeable to a show with smaller viewership like NXT compared to Raw.

Like, I think Raw took a similar numbers hit in the demo and about 300-400k (if not more) in total viewership, but 1.4 million people or so still looks pretty impressive given circumstances. NXT doesn't have that cache.

I don't think there's much to really read into this specific show. If this ends up being a trend after it's back on USA and doesn't have the Olympics to contend with, that's when the doomsaying becomes more warranted.

That's right, I get right to the point.
