Beginning on April 13, NXT on USA Network will be airing at its usual time slot but on Tuesdays. The move was confirmed by WWE and it is a part of the company’s multi-year extension with USA Network.
Back in early March, it was first reported by The Mat Men podcast that NXT and USA Network had been discussing a move from Wednesdays to Tuesdays and the targeted date was April 13th.
NXT founder and senior producer Paul “Triple H” Levesque commented on the night switch and stated that the move provides an opportunity for the brand to grow.
We are thrilled to continue WWE and NBCUniversal’s longstanding partnership with the extension of NXT on USA Network. The move to Tuesdays provides a new opportunity for us to grow the NXT brand and enables our partner, USA Network, to continue to build its strong portfolio of sports and entertainment programming.
