WWE has announced that NXT, it’s popular brand that airs exclusively on the WWE Network, will be moving to the USA Network on September 18th.
With NXT’s move, this counters AEW on TNT, which debuts a month later, and NXT will not move from it’s traditional one-hour format to move to a two-hour format.
WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon made the following comments about the move to USA Network from the WWE Network: “The move to USA Network provides an opportunity to deepen our relationship with NBCUniversal and further build the NXT brand. Over the long term, our goal is to develop a following that can be monetized to the same level as our flagship programs, Raw and SmackDown.”
