More on NXT March 11, 2025 Viewership

The March 11th episode of WWE NXT saw NXT gain a small increase in overall viewership. This week’s show was notable for being the NXT Roadblock 2025 special.

NXT drew 732,000 viewers and a 0.15 key demographic rating on The CW.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the main reasons for NXT’s increase this week was due to the large increases from their Over 50 demographic viewership and older key demographic viewership groups, which its percentages were not given. This reportedly mostly offset the large declines from their younger key demographic viewership group, which was down 30.8% compared to last week’s show. Meltzer reported that it is still currently not known if last week show’s numbers had included numbers from the 2025 State of the Union Address for comparisons with this week’s shows numbers.

In terms of head-to-head competition, the NBA game of Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers drew 851,000 viewers on TNT, the College basketball game of Gonzaga vs. St. Mary’s drew 911,000 viewers on ESPN, the College basketball game of Youngstown State vs. Robert Morris drew 484,000 viewers on ESPN, Curse of Oak Island drew 1,786,000 viewers on History Channel, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta drew 359,000 viewers on MTV, 7 Little Johnstons drew 563,000 viewers on TLC, Moonshiners drew 722,000 viewers on Discovery Channel, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills drew 829,000 viewers on BRAVO.

In terms of key demographic viewership, NXT had 200,000 viewers. Meltzer reported that NXT’s male/female viewership skew was 71% in favor of males.

In terms of yearly comparisons, NXT was up 21.1% in overall viewership and but down 3% in key demographic viewership.
