Update On NXT Possibly Changing Nights In April
That would change things. We are on the way towards WrestleMania 37 and that means things are going to get a lot more interesting in a hurry. The two night WrestleMania event will be the biggest nights of the year but they are not the only times of the season that matter. In addition, WWE beefs up its television around the same time and now we might be seeing something else.
The WWE television situation has been rather interesting in the last few years as NXT has been moved up to the same level as Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. At the same time, NXT has been going head to head with AEW Dynamite every Wednesday night for about a year and a half. That has made for some interesting situations, but one of them seems ready to be finished.
According to Wrestling Observer Live, reports of NXT moving to Tuesday nights starting on April 13 are true and the move is considered a “done deal”. The move is coming after news from earlier this year that the NHL is likely coming to the USA Network on Wednesday nights and has nothing to do with NXT’s audience or ratings. NHL games are likely to draw better advertising revenue for the network and the change is coming as a result. WWE has not announced a move.
There have been some great Wednesday moments. Check out what has happened for NXT on that night:

Opinion: As someone who watches all four hours on Wednesday nights, I am all for such a move. At the end of the day, you can only get so far with both shows airing every Wednesday night as there is only so much time on a given night. Switching things up could help a lot and if that is the case, then both the fans and the shows should both be in much better shape.
