The CW Network and WWE today announced all NXT Premium Live
Events will now air exclusively on The CW.
The agreement will start with The Great American Bash and
The CW will air a total of 20 PLEs live on both costs over
the next several years, although the exact duration was not
revealed.
With the addition of NXT PLEs to The CW’s lineup, the
network is now the exclusive home for all NXT programming.
“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.”
The partnership between the two parties started in October
2024 when The CW acquired the rights for the weekly NXT
television series in a five-year deal.
“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,” said Shawn Michaels, WWE Senior Vice
President of Talent Development Creative.
