WWE could do with some good news regarding ratings as numbers for RAW and SmackDown Live continue to struggle so it's a good job that NXT's USA Network debut was a hit. The show managed to draw a total of 1,007,000 viewers. That's obviously a lot less than the other two WWE brands but a great result for NXT and that timeslot on the network.
As a result, USA are bound to be happy with NXT's performance and this is a strong opening for WWE in the Wednesday Night Wars (especially as the second hour ended up on the WWE Network).
Obviously, what will be really interesting is seeing how these numbers increase or decrease moving forward and what happens when All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite debuts over on TNT come October 2nd. If NXT loses that night, it will be a huge blow to WWE.
