More Changes in Place for NXT’s Transition to The CW – As noted, NXT is set to undergo significant changes as it makes its highly anticipated debut on The CW Network on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, from the Allstate Arena in Chicago. These changes mark a new chapter for WWE’s developmental brand, with updates to the show’s logo, presentation, and overall tone.
According to new reports, WWE is using this week in Chicago to make adjustments not just to NXT’s broadcast but also to the WWE Performance Center (PC) itself. After this past Tuesday’s NXT on USA, the set at the PC was taken down, signaling that modifications are underway. It remains unclear if the set will simply be updated or if WWE plans to introduce a completely new design for NXT’s weekly show. The current set has been in use since the NXT 2.0 rebrand in 2021, marking a potential end to that visual era as WWE moves into this new phase.
Another major shift is NXT’s television rating. Both the CW Network’s NXT series page and the YouTube TV app have listed NXT with a TV-14 rating, marking a departure from the TV-PG rating the show has held on USA Network. This shift hints at edgier content and a more mature tone for the program, which could bring back some of the intensity that long-time NXT fans remember from its earlier days.
With these changes, WWE appears to be positioning NXT as a more prominent and exciting part of their overall programming, likely appealing to a wider and slightly older audience. The Chicago premiere on The CW, combined with the revamped set, logo, and the introduction of TV-14-rated content, has fans eager to see what new elements NXT will bring to the table as it embarks on this new journey.
