This week's NXT viewership had strong competition from the MLB World Series on network TV, Election Night coverage on cable, and some from the NBA on cable. Game 6 of the World Series drew almost 14 million viewers on FOX. The drop was expected due to last week's show being Halloween Havoc, and with Election Night coverage, but this week's numbers are in line with what the show had been doing before last week. This week's viewership was down 15.41% from last week, while the key demo rating was down 16.66% from last week.

This week's NXT viewership was up 3.44% from the episode that aired one year ago, while the 18-49 key demo rating was up 7.14% from the show that aired one year ago. The 2020 episode aired head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, and was the day after the election. This is the first time since September 21 that NXT's numbers were up year-to-year.

The Election Night edition of Hannity on FOX News topped the night in the 18-49 demographic on the Cable Top 150 with a 0.54 rating, drawing 4.926 million viewers. The Ingraham Angle on FOX News topped the night on cable in viewership with 5.146 million viewers, ranking #2 on the Cable Top 150 with a 0.53 key demo rating.
