Update On NXT Changing Nights (Patreon)

NXT aired on Tuesday night this week, and will do the same next week, leaving about four out of five weeks that feature AEW and NXT running unopposed of one another. Thus far, NXT's numbers have greatly benefited from this, leading many to speculate about a potential night move for them. This has actually been a pitch floated for long before.

As of a couple of months ago, USA Network had thrown out the idea of NXT moving to Tuesday nights. The network has a lot of faith and a good relationship in WWE, but those we've spoken to have said they aren't as committed to the "competition" aspect of NXT on Wednesday night considering it costs them viewers. WWE was said to have been receptive to the idea of moving nights.

We haven't been told anything firm as of now, and wrestlers and officials have not been informed of a change as of yet. Fightful has been told by those close to USA Network that these two weeks were a bit of a test run on Tuesdays out of circumstance since the show had to switch nights for the playoffs anyway.

Fightful reached out to WWE shortly before running this story, and will update if they respond.
