WWE main roster stars appearing on NXT have helped ratings for the weekly program.

On the latest edition of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, Booker T covered this topic.

“I wanted to talk about that, the strong rating with NXT. There again, the ratingโ€™s up,” said the two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend. “I know it has to be due to the interplay with the main roster mixing it up with the guys on NXT. I just think itโ€™s a great mix. Having Dominik in the mix, like I said, that kid has grown. Heโ€™s grown exponentially in his last 365 days. Unbelievable, what this kid has gone. Just to see Rhea Ripley playing that role right now too, playing a hell of a role. Iโ€™m just liking everything. Iโ€™m liking the mix, Iโ€™m liking the nucleus of it. So letโ€™s just keep it rolling.”

The NXT color-commentator continued, “I really think NXT numbers, I think they can get up to a million views a show, just because the show is a really, really solid show. Itโ€™s really, really good entertainment. The characters really play their role. For me, to see those stars before they become superstars is something very, very important for me to be invested because I want to know who Iโ€™m gonna like when they get there. I want to know whoโ€™s the guy Iโ€™m cheering for.”
