According to WrestleNomics, the 2026 WWE NXT Great American Bash premium live event (PLE), which aired on The CW on Sunday, attracted an average of 394,000 viewers and received a rating of 0.07 in the key 18-49 demographic.
These figures are lower than last week’s WWE NXT episode, which drew an average of 668,000 viewers and a 0.11 rating in the same demographic. However, it’s important to note that the numbers are not directly comparable for several reasons. Firstly, the NXT Great American Bash aired on a different day and time slot.
Additionally, it was broadcast simultaneously with the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event.
There are no previous ratings for NXT PLEs to compare the show against. The most recent portion of a PLE to air on traditional TV with available numbers is the ESPN first-hour airing of WWE Backlash, which drew 998,000 viewers and posted a 0.33 rating in the key 18-49 demographic. Currently, there are no reported numbers for the Night of Champions ESPN simulcast.
