Folks, we have the best news, the greatest news, tremendous news for all you wrestling fans. “WWE NXT,” the show that gives us more high-flying, body-slamming action than a cage match at a carnival, is making its move to The CW this October! This isn’t just any move, folks. This is huge! “NXT” will be the only WWE show available on broadcast TV. No more fumbling with cable or streaming. It’s right there, free and easy, just like it should be.
And guess what? It’s staying on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., so your midweek wrestling fix is safe and sound. No need to adjust those schedules, folks. Keep your nachos warm and your remotes handy because Tuesday nights are locked in for the best in sports entertainment.
Now, let’s talk a little about the musical chairs of WWE shows. Before the big NXT move, “WWE SmackDown” is shuffling over to the USA Network on September 13. Meanwhile, “WWE Raw” will hang tight on the USA Network through the end of the year. But in a twist nobody saw coming, “Raw” will be packing its bags for Netflix in 2025. Streaming giants, folks! Can you believe it? “Raw” was supposed to move sooner, but WWE signed a new deal to keep it on the airwaves a little longer. More wrestling, less waiting. We love to see it!
This new deal means The CW is now the third home for “NXT,” which started on the WWE Network and then made a splash on the USA Network in 2019. At first, “NXT” was on Wednesday nights, going head-to-head with “AEW Dynamite” in a rivalry hotter than a summer BBQ. But cooler heads prevailed, and “NXT” moved to Tuesdays, and now it’s here to stay.
Lately, we’ve seen more of those big-name WWE stars making surprise appearances on “NXT.” It’s all part of WWE’s master plan to turn “NXT” into a “sustainable third brand.” And with this new deal with The CW, “NXT” is worth more than ever. It’s like striking gold, folks. So, get ready for even more high-octane action, because “NXT” is gearing up to shine brighter than ever before!
