WWE NXT Premium Live Events are moving to broadcast television for the first time, with The CW Network announcing a deal to air all NXT PLEs exclusively on the network.
The agreement, announced Tuesday, will see The CW broadcast 20 NXT Premium Live Events over the next several years, beginning with The Great American Bash later this summer. The deal includes marquee events such as Stand and Deliver, Deadline, and Vengeance Day, and brings all NXT programming under one roof on The CW, which already airs weekly NXT episodes every Tuesday night from 8 to 10 p.m. ET.
The CW entered its initial five-year deal with WWE in October 2024, bringing NXT to broadcast television for the first time in the show's history. That debut delivered the largest audience for the program since October 2023 and ranked as the network's top telecast of the year among adults in the key demographics.
Shawn Michaels, who oversees NXT as WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative, framed the expansion as a natural step for a brand that has grown significantly on its broadcast-television home.
"The CW has played an integral role in raising the profile of our up-and-coming Superstars, and we are excited to bring NXT Premium Live Events to broadcast television for the first time ever," Michaels said.
The CW Network President Brad Schwartz described the addition as a logical extension of what the network already delivers every Tuesday. "WWE NXT has energized our Tuesday nights by consistently delivering a loyal and passionate fanbase to The CW every week. 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," Schwartz said.
The current NXT roster is led by champion Tony D'Angelo and NXT Women's Champion Lola Vice.
