The increase was largely driven by biggest 18-34 audience since March 25, 2020: 105,000.

The rating has seen a significant jump from the previous weeks. The pre-taped editions from NXT each drew 520,000 viewers, both being record low numbers for the promotion since moving to network television.
The return to live broadcasting and The Olympics concluding is most likely the reason that more people tuned into the show. Also, the August 10th edition was back on the usual home of the USA Network. The July 27th and August 3rd episodes were aired on SYFY because of the games in Tokyo.
There has also been an increase in the key 18-49 viewing demographic, with a 0.19 rating for the August 10th NXT. This is nearly double the rating from the previous week.
The majority of the most recent black and gold brand saw setups for the upcoming NXT TakeOver 36, where multiple matches were made official for the show.
