Shawn Michaels On NXT Potentially Moving To Tuesdays: It Certainly Wouldn’t Hurt
NXT will reportedly be moving to Tuesdays beginning April 13. The show has been on Wednesdays dating back to 2015 when it aired on WWE Network.
In September 2019, NXT premieres on USA Network and since October 2019, NXT has gone head-to-head with AEW Dynamite on TNT most weeks.
Speaking to the New York Post, NXT producer Shawn Michaels commented on the brand potentially moving to Tuesday nights.
“It’s always clearly easier when your sort of destination programming, so to speak. Nothing would change certainly for us. We still try to put the best show out there that we can. Clearly, I know that’s everybody’s goal. I think it would only be fair to say everyone knows that when you are not competing against another similar show that it makes it a little bit easier. It allows people to enjoy that. And then you think about the follow from Raw the next night. So, clearly, it certainly wouldn’t hurt,” said Shawn.
WWE has yet to confirm NXT moving to Tuesday nights.
NXT General Manager William Regal is set to make two major announcements on Wednesday’s episode of NXT, plus two title matches will headline the show.
Fightful will have live coverage of NXT beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
