WWE NXT Viewership & Ratings Report: 10/27/2026

The "WWE NXT" go-home episode for Halloween Havoc witnessed a significant drop in average viewership, registering the show's lowest numbers in five months.

Viewership for the October 27, 2026, edition of "NXT," which aired days before Halloween Havoc, averaged just 520,000 viewers, as per "Wrestlenomics." This was a stark contrast to the previous week's episode, which drew 655,000 viewers, making the latest show's viewership 21% lower. Meanwhile, the show's viewership is 20% lower than the four-week average of 648,000 viewers. The last time "NXT" drew a smaller audience than the October 27 episode was back in May, when the May 19 show averaged 517,000 viewers.

The show's key demographic rating didn't decline as sharply, dropping by just 0.01, from 0.10 to 0.09. Despite the fall in both viewership and ratings, "NXT" performed better this October than it did last October, with average viewership up 3% and ratings 10% higher.

Last week's "NXT" put the finishing touches on storylines heading into Halloween Havoc, with the major feuds involving Grayson Waller and Tony D'Angelo, whose rivalry culminated in Waller retaining his title at the event, and Zilla Fatu's feud with BirthRight, which saw him face the group's Charlie Dempsey at the weekend's show.

This week's "NXT," which will air on Wednesday, November 4, will go head-to-head with "AEW Dynamite." WWE is bringing out the big guns for the show, including John Cena and CM Punk, with the latter set to face Waller.
