Per data released by Wrestlenomics, the inaugural week of Becky Lynch’s reign as the NXT Women’s champion successfully garnered an audience of 824,000 viewers.
While detailed promotion regarding Lynch’s role in the recent episode was somewhat limited — her participation was determined following an introductory promo during the show — the event had been spotlighted on Raw the previous night. Moreover, Dominik Mysterio’s champ-versus-champ confrontation with Carmelo Hayes had been a focal point in the advertisement strategy throughout the week.
The coming Tuesday will serve as the precursor to the No Mercy PLE event scheduled for September 30th, where Lynch is slated to face Stratton in an exhilarating Extreme Rules matchup. The excitement is further anticipated to escalate with Mysterio defending his North American title in the September 26th Raw segment.
As fans hold their breath, it remains to be seen whether these developments will bolster NXT’s viewership statistics or witness a decline following the spike seen on the last Tuesday.
