Multiple sources in the broadcast industry have confirmed that the CW Network and WWE have been in deep discussions for weeks about NXT shifting from its current basic cable home on the USA Network to a traditional broadcast television home, airing live weekly on the CW Network when the brand's current media rights deal ends in September 2024.

WWE has since confirmed the news.

I wonder if this plays into the rumor that CW execs were second-guessing the NWA deal after the cocaine spot at the PPV, with allegedly some wanting to stop it and others wanting to make it a streaming app only.

With it having been in the discussions for weeks (and when NWA first made its rumblings about this), and now how quickly this is announced after the coke debacle, I gotta imagine this is their "Maybe we will go with plan A instead of plan B.."

I await an NWA press release announcing NWA is launching a channel on Pluto instead rofl.

I wonder if WWE would pay the fee to keep NWA on the CW App just because they don't want to give MLW any ammo in their lawsuit about WWE joining networks just to kill off their shows.
