A lot of people tuned in last night to see the premiere of WWE NXT 2.0.
According to Showbuzz Daily, this week’s edition of WWE NXT brought in 770,000 viewers, which is way up from last week’s 601,000. Fan curiosity over the NXT 2.0 rebranding won out in a big way this week. However, it will be interesting to see if WWE will be able to maintain these numbers in the future.
There should be a good portion of people that will likely come back next week due to Tommaso Ciampa capturing the NXT Championship for a second time. But how long he will hold it remains to be seen.

Regarding the all-important 18-49 demo, WWE NXT also saw a rise from last week from 0.14 to 0.21. With viewership and demo both up, this has to be viewed as a victory for WWE NXT 2.0. But the numbers next week will be very telling if people enjoyed what they saw last night or not.
Last week, WWE NXT took the 31st spot on cable for Wednesday. This week, they rose up to 10th. The numbers have risen across the board for WWE NXT 2.0. Regardless of what happens in the future, night one of the rebranding must be viewed as a success.
