Booker T believes the current iteration of NXT can mange to cross over one million viewers.
The program airs on USA network every Tuesday at 8PM and has seen its viewership increase significantly over the past few weeks after the influx of main roster talent, namely The Judgement Day.
Speaking on The Hall of Fame with Booker T and Brad Gilmore, Booker T stated that he believes NXT can manage to hit one million viewers.
“I wanted to talk about that, the strong rating with NXT. There again, the rating’s up. 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 it’s a great mix. Having Dominik in the mix, like I said, that kid has grown. He’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. I’m just liking everything. I’m liking the mix, I’m liking the nucleus of it. So let’s just keep it rolling,”
“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. It’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 I’m gonna like when they get there. I want to know who’s the guy I’m cheering for,”
“I’m loving it. The ratings, everything, my spot, contract coming up. Everything, man. Everything’s good,”
