The CW To Air NXT Premium Live Events In Multi-Year Deal With WWE

The CW will exclusively air all NXT Premium Live Events under a multi-year deal with WWE.

Starting with The Great American Bash later this summer. The CW will broadcast 20 PLEs in their entirety live on both coasts over the next several years, including Stand and Deliver, Deadline, and Vengeance Day.

With the addition of NXT PLEs, The CW is now the exclusive home for all NXT programming, featuring up-and-coming stars, with NXT installments airing every Tuesday night.

The CW became the official broadcast home of WWE NXT under a five-year deal inked in 2024. NXT’s weekly live show currently airs Tuesday nights on the network, which features up-and-coming talent including NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo and NXT Women’s Champion Lola Vice.

“WWE NXT has energized our Tuesday nights by consistently delivering a loyal and passionate fanbase to The CW every week,” said Brad Schwartz, President, The CW Network. “Adding WWE NXT Premium Live Events to our schedule is a natural fit, providing one broadcast destination for audiences to watch all their favorite Superstars, storylines and championship matches.”

NXT has aired weekly since 2012. Several Wrestlemania 42 participants were developed under the NXT banner, including Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch. Led by Michaels, NXT on The CW has showcased the rise of several ascending WWE Superstars, including Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Je’Von Evans, and Sol Ruca.

“The CW has played an integral role in raising the profile of our up-and-coming Superstars, and we are excited to bring NXT’s Premium Live Events to broadcast television for the first time ever,” said Shawn Michaels, WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative.
