There was little movement in the trends for NXT 2.0, although the show did fall to its lowest overall viewership since the revamp.

The November 9th edition of NXT 2.0 averaged 603,000 viewers and 196,000 (0.22) in the 18-49 demographic, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics and Showbuzz Daily.

The viewership figure only dropped by 4 percent from last week, although it was the lowest number since September 7th, which was the final episode under the previous branding of NXT.

The 18-49 number was almost identical to last week’s number of 198,000 with this week’s episode finishing #36 among cable originals. There have been four episodes of NXT 2.0 with lower 18-49 numbers since the revamp.

The cable numbers were led by ESPN’s college football coverage for the evening including two games, as well as the NBA game between Milwaukee and Philadelphia on TNT that went against NXT.

The 18-49 demo saw males grow 5 percent from last week while females dropped by 10 percent. In the 12-34 numbers, both grew with females up by 20 percent and males up 14 percent.

Adults 18-34 were even with last week’s rating of 0.08.

The numbers were offset by Adults 50+ declining by 8 percent this week.

In Canada, the show averaged 45,000 viewers on Sportsnet 360.

The show only advertised two matches throughout the week with a six-woman tag of Toxic Attraction vs. Io Shirai, Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter, and the team of Jacket Time facing The Creed Brothers. Earlier in the day, several matches were added and included the main event between North American Champion Carmelo Hayes and Pete Dunne in a non-title match.

Next week’s show will feature Dexter Lumis vs. Tony D’Angelo and a Poker Showdown involving Duke Hudson and Cameron Grimes.
