NXT just drew its lowest viewership number ever since it began airing in the USA Network. It started airing last year. Before that, it was a Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Network show.

The Coronavirus pandemic had a huge impact on both shows this week. NXT aired with Tim Phillips and Triple H doing interviewing Rhea Ripley, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor. There were no matches and no crowd at that time. Dynamite moved its show to the Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL. There was no live audience, but a few wrestlers were there to provide some crowd noise.
