WWE could be on the verve of moving NXT to a different night of the week according to a new report by WrestleVotes on Wednesday.
It was noted that USA Network is behind the potential move and first pitched the idea around two months ago. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that USA Network were as interested in going up against AEW as WWE were. USA supposedly wanted AEW to fail just as much as WWE did, which is why NXT was then given the two hour slot on Wednesday nights.
Neither WWE or USA, understandably, want another wrestling company to succeed. It was suggested that everyone knows if NXT was on a different night from day one, it would draw much more than it does on a Wednesday against AEW.
The only reason that NXT was moved away from the WWE Network on to television was not to build the brand, but to make sure that AEW went out of business.
A couple of months ago WWE held a meeting where the topic of moving to another day was discussed but it was dismissed. Vince didn’t want the perception that WWE had “ran from the fight.”
