Update: WWE NXT to Remain on Tuesdays Following Move to The CW

One Big Thing

“WWE NXT” will continue to air on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. when it moves to The CW this October, as announced during today’s Upfront presentations.

Key Points

• “NXT” will become WWE’s only property available on broadcast TV, with “SmackDown” moving to USA Network and “Raw” eventually heading to Netflix.
• The show has previously aired on the WWE Network and USA Network, initially competing with “AEW Dynamite” on Wednesday nights before moving to Tuesdays.
• More main roster stars have been appearing on “NXT” lately, likely as part of WWE’s plan to turn the show into “a sustainable third brand.”

Why It Matters

The move to The CW marks a significant increase in value for “NXT,” and the show is expected to receive renewed focus as it transitions to a new network. With “NXT” becoming WWE’s sole broadcast TV offering, the company may invest more resources into making it a strong third brand alongside “Raw” and “SmackDown.”
