1) Big Update On The Plans For NXT
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, NXT will be running on Tuesday night on the week following Wrestlemania 37. This seems to confirm the rumors of NXT moving from Wednesday night to Tuesday night.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Several WWE sources confirmed today that the first WWE NXT episode coming out of Wrestlemania 37 weekend is currently scheduled to be held and broadcast on Tuesday 4/13.
There had been rumors to this effect in recent weeks, stemming from a report from The Mat Men Podcast.
At the time, WWE did not respond to the reports (and still have not) but we are told that the production calendar for Wrestlemania week currently lists the 4/13 taping date.
So, while we do not have confirmation of a permanent move, all signs point to the Wednesday Night Wars indeed ending next month. The move would separate NXT and AEW, allowing each series to stand on their own accord with viewers. NXT shifting to Tuesday would also allow for heavy promotion from the previous evening’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
My Take:
- This is great for wrestling fans if it happens. NXT on Tuesday and then Dynamite on Wednesdays. The best of both worlds for fans who want to watch both live on a weekly basis.
