The overnight viewing figures are in for the October 31 WWE NXT Halloween Havoc special, which aired at 7 PM Eastern on The CW Network.
The show reportedly attracted 461,000 overnight viewers, earning a 0.07 rating in the key 18–49 demographic.
Halloween Havoc is one of NXT's established special events, so these numbers raise an interesting question about how the brand is performing and whether it is attracting the audience WWE would like to see.
There are plenty of factors to consider, including competition from other programming, the show's scheduling, the strength of the card and how NXT is being presented to viewers.
But are 461,000 viewers and a 0.07 demographic rating respectable figures for NXT, or should we be expecting more?
💬 Let's Debate!

What could WWE do to attract more viewers to NXT?
Do television ratings still matter as much in the modern wrestling landscape?
