According to a report from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has set a specific target for the number of viewers they hope to achieve for NXT‘s debut on the CW network next month. The goal is to reach one million viewers for the episode airing on October 1 in Chicago. To accomplish this, the company is putting together an impressive lineup featuring main roster stars.
The advertisement for the show includes big names such as CM Punk, The Miz, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair. In addition to these star appearances, there will be two title matches: Giulia vs. Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship and Ethan Page vs. Trick Williams for the NXT Championship. Furthermore, fans can expect an intense street fight between Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz.

By featuring popular wrestlers like CM Punk and incorporating high-stakes championship bouts into the event, WWE hopes to captivate viewers and generate significant interest in their product.
With this strategic approach in mind, it will be interesting to see if WWE can achieve their goal of reaching one million viewers for NXT’s first episode on CW. As wrestling fans eagerly anticipate this highly anticipated debut, all eyes will be on Chicago come October 1st.
