Yeah Trick is white hot right now. When Ilja won the belt, I think the first thing I asked was “Who does he drop it to?”

Trick might be the answer.

This week's show was heavily focused on the girls and it was quite fun. Glad Karmen and Arianna got the wins.

Now Arianna needs a banger like this

Also that Jaida new girl looks good

 

[Chris]

Tuesday night's episode of WWE NXT averaged 798,000 viewers on the USA Network, down 13.4 percent from last week's loaded episode that included appearances by John Cena, The Undertaker, and more. This is still the fifth-highest audience total NXT has drawn in 2023. The four episodes beating it all happened over the previous five weeks.

NXT drew a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demo. That's down 23.3 percent from last week but is tied for the show's fourth-highest rating of the year in that category.

The only two shows to beat NXT on the cable sports charts were MLB playoff-related programming. The NLCS game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks averaged 5.13 million viewers and drew a 1.24 rating in 18-49.

As compared to the same week in 2022, NXT's overall audience was up 18.1 percent while its 18-49 rating was up 27.8 percent.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for NXT, as well as the 10-week averages in both categories. This week's show was up 5.7 percent in overall viewers and up 4.5 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.

I'd say that's a great rating for an episode that didn't have Bex or Dom advertised. Cody kind of was but not really so hard to say whether he gave the bump or people were just generally interested in it coming off the special the week before.

 

[Chris]

It did have Becky advertised I thought but either way yeah I think it's not a bad decline for the monster number at all. Demo still higher than a few weeks where old people watched more too recently

I already love Arianna Grace’s new gimmick. That backstage promo and her pre match promo on the show was good stuff.

It’s crazy how Trick is so over now, he’s even more over than Melo, which is why Melo will be the one that took him out.

Honestly you might be right, but it's just crazy. I remember in 2022 no one liked Trick. Around February 2023 during his match with Dragunov shocker I know. Trick shined and the crowd starting turning in his favor and has just been building up since

Same effect as Tiffany. Trick was just another NXT 2.0 hire but then he proved he gets the business and he's grown like hell in-ring

The crazy thing is Tiffany seemed ready at first sometimes a bit sloppy in person but she can really bring it in the ring. Trick seemed lost until around his second match with Dragunov. I hope I don't sound like a know it all since I do attend some shows. But to be able to have a solid match with Dominik who no disrespect to isn't that good in the ring I do have to tip my hat to both of them. I hope I'm not rambling but I'm gonna miss NXT in person when I move
