Sportsnet jobbed out NXT for stupid ass tennis......and it was an all timer episode......Trick roasting people, that Axiom/Ali match, Kelani looked great against Davenport......and the other stuff I forgot because I'm drunk......good ass show.

I thought it was the weakest episode in months to be honest, except for a strong opener, there wasn't anything particularly memorable. I wasn't even that impressed by Tyler and Noam, they had far better matches in the UK.

as long as tiffy appeared...right? right?

I thought it was a pretty good show. That opener was good and so was Dar and Bate. The stuff with Trick and Ilja was good as well, and the build toward Melo and Lee for the title.

Last night’s episode of NXT on USA Network drew an average of 776,000 viewers, the highest viewership number of the year and the highest since Apr. 20, 2021. It was up 59,000 from last week’s 717,000 viewers. The average viewership this year is 619,000. The average through 32 weeks last year was 596,000.

The show headlined with Dominik Mysterio (w/Rhea Ripley) defending his North American Title against Dragon Lee (w/Rey Mysterio).

The key 18-49 demo rating was 0.23, the same as the prior two weeks. The growth was outside of that core demo, as the overall cable rating jumped from 0.53 last week to 0.58 this week, the highest cable rating since Sept. 13 last year.

The average 18-49 demo rating this year is 0.16, so it was well above what it was drawing earlier in the year. The January-February average demo rating was 0.14. It finished no. 1 among all cable shows on Tuesday night.​

The Dirty one does it again. Whatever they do with Judgement Day, they gotta keep these two together.

Though I imagine Rey being advertised was a nice bump.​
