This is Wrestling Inc.’s results for “WWE NXT” on August 19, 2025, with a #1 Contenders Match for the NXT Championship between Je'Von Evans & Trick Williams!

WWE NXT Superstar Trick Williams tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago, and he returned to Philly to take on their fans.

The post WWE NXT Viewership & Demo Revealed For 8/19 Episode appeared first on Wrestlezone. WWE NXT saw a decrease in viewership on August 19 as the brand hit the road to Philadelphia.

The episode took place from Philadelphia last night and was the go-home show for Sunday’s Heatwave PLE. It drew a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 11.8 percent from last week and marking the lowest rating NXT has done in that category since July 15.

This week’s episode of WWE NXT will be the go-home show for NXT Heatwave. This week’s show takes place at The Met Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is the WWE NXT preview for August 19.

WWE NXT North American Women’s Champion Sol Ruca addressed the status of WWE Speed, which has not aired since July 9.

WWE NXT is in Philadelphia tonight for the final stop before Heatwave. Oba Femi will defend his NXT Championship against either Je’Von Evans or Trick Williams at Sunday’s PLE in Lowell, Massachusetts. Tonight, Evans battles Williams in a number one contender’s match to determine who gets the title shot.

Heatwave should be a decent show with the card WWE has put in place, but NXT’s weekly shows have been lacking some of the excitement that once made the brand must-see TV every week. If it can find a way to regain that, NXT could become the best brand in WWE again.

Josh Briggs picked up a massive win in his NXT career, defeating Yoshiki Inamura in a Philadelphia Street Fight on WWE NXT. The match between the former tag team partners kicked off the August 19 episode of NXT.
