Matt Hardy comments on NXT moving to The CW in late 2024.
Since the October 10th editions of NXT and AEW Dynamite, the topic of ratings between AEW Dynamite and NXT has been renewed once again. NXT would win on that night by a sizeable margin and with that it seems WWE have some confidence heading into 2024.
Matt Hardy, on the most recent episode of his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, discussed NXT’s deal with The CW.
“I know it had been floated out there that [CW] was a possible Landing point for the NWA. There had been several people that had told me the last two or three weeks who were in the wrestling business, ‘Oh, yeah, NWA, they have some sort of deal worked out and they’re going to end up on the CW.’ They didn’t know when, they didn’t know what kind of time slot, or whatever, but for NXT to kind of swoop in and have the CW deal is very interesting,” Matt said. “It’s really going to be interesting just to see how the landscape changes from a television perspective because those television rights are the biggest monies that any company make. I know WWE, they’re going to go all out to make all the money they can and I know AEW is looking to get a raise whenever they renew their television rights wherever they end up at. So yeah, it’s going to be really interesting to see how that affects the entire professional wrestling television landscape.”
