TOP TAKEAWAYS
•The increase of 83,000 viewers over last week is solid, but it was only 56,000 more than the ten week rolling average. The added star power helped, but it didn’t lead to a huge jump. NXT drew 740,000 back on Aug. 5, so it wasn’t even the biggest viewership of the last ten weeks.
•The lack of a bigger increase could be because NXT has won over a lot of viewers who are watching every week anyway, so a plug on Raw with special guests isn’t going to make a huge difference. That said, 737,000 is a nice number.
•We’re not quite at the point where year-ago numbers are from episodes on The CW, so we’re still comparing this year’s data from The CW to last year’s numbers on USA Network. That chnages wit hthe Oct. 1 episide where the viewership initially surged to 895,000 the first week compared to 620,000 the week before.
