[Kang Deezy]

live weekly Wednesday nIghts from 8 to 10

WWE is reportedly tentatively set to move NXT to FOX Sports 1 for a live show. According to the WONthe current tentative plan is to have NXT on FOX Sports 1 air Wednesday nights at 8 PM to 10 PM. For those keeping track, that would be a two-hour show instead of the usual one-hour show.

There is no word on when this move will be made, as it is not currently announced. It is also not certain what this means for NXT on the WWE Network. However, the WON states that things are far enough along that FOX has already informed affiliates. The idea on going live is that a taped show is unlikely to have enough to compete directly with AEW. Officials believe that they had the edge in terms of roster, as they can have main roster talent come in to make appearances whenever they want. It is not yet sure if the shows will continue at Full Sail or tour with the brand.

AEW will have the market penetration edge in a possible Wednesday night battle, as TNT is in way more homes than FS1. However, WWE has greater brand name recognition, and NXT would be promoted on Raw and Smackdown.

that's impressive if true. the live aspect is extremely important and the two hours will give them time to actually develop storylines.

I thought they weren't concerned with AEW... Oh well hope both products are dope and bring back lapsed fans.

This is pretty big if it ends up being true.

I wonder how quickly they start putting people from the main roster there because they think it will attract more viewers

Them touring full time would not be a good look for nxt...unless its small venues

WWE gonna burn out their production team. Right now they tape month's worth of NXT episodes in two or three days.

Now you're asking them to work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? That's not even mentioning the production truck people who are gonna have to drive long ass distances now.
