Interesting to see if this is a one week experiment, or if NXT is permanently going to move to Tuesdays. It is the week immediately following Mania, so maybe it's easier for the crew to do the Tuesday that week while they're still on Mania season, instead of taking the day's break after RAW.

Honestly, it could be any you said. It probably makes scheduling easy during WM season but there’s also no harm in seeing if they do it live how well it does without opposition.

I would love to see NXT move to Tuesday, but I just don’t see Vince admitting defeat like that.

Triple H said they didn’t have Full Sail available on a Wednesday coming up. This is probably it. I wouldn’t look to much into it

They SHOULD have moved to Tuesday to start with given the only reason they're on Wednesdays is to spite AEW
I don't expect this to be a permanent thing even if it should be, the "Wednesday Night Wars" have been anything but that and NXT's ratings keep getting worse.

NXT's only actually won once, but it's not like AEW routinely completely flattens them, NXT's been comfortably sitting in the 700,000s for a good while now, and their actual demographic rating is a lot better than it was, even if it's still mostly old people watching. NXT on Tuesdays would be better for both parties but it's not like NXT is doing badly.

Has nothing to do with AEW and y’all talk AEW
I assume they doing this because it will be easier thanks to a hectic Mania week so it could be testing the waters on that day for a future day but right now nothing to really speculate about

That 2nd part is cap and extreme bias. They been around the same number for a min, they just been losing in the ratings but they haven’t gotten worse

I want to see how both shows do unopposed, frankly.

Most people here have been trying to at least see the logic of them trying Tuesdays if the show was to go live. Like, for my money, if it does well live on Tuesday and USA hasn't got much to slot in that time frame (which they really, absolutely don't right now), they might at least humour the idea of it. Or it'll be taped on Tuesday and shown on Wednesday, which would be really weird post WrestleMania but who knows?

They been around the same number for a min, they just been losing in the ratings but they haven’t gotten worse This week they lost all the demos so to me it hasn't exactly been great for NXT They aren't doing terrible, but it's been like a 16-3 AEW ratings split, I'm not trying to be bias here, I'm saying NXT would probably benefit being on Tuesday rather than trying to ram headfirst into AEW because Vince can't stand someone else succeeding...

NXT on Tuesdays would be better for both parties but it's not like NXT is doing badly. I think NXT was put on Wednesday to try and kill off AEW early and since they announced that new multi year contract with TNT it's clear AEW is here to stay and the plan failed. So they probably should move to Tuesday night, it would be better for everyone. Don't think they will though.

For the record, as the one person I WANT NXT to go to Tuesdays because logistically I see it being good for all parties, better schedule, no worry about a dumb competition that shouldn't exist, probably a better timeframe for USA as a whole. It really just should have been Tuesdays to begin with when Smackdown left.

Vince ain't taking the L THAT quickly, this is probably a one off. As for the night switch?? Nahhhh. I think once UE is sent to the main roster post mania, NXT will finally be able to let the the characters theyve been building take off.

At this point that sounds like more of a threat than a good thing...

I think once UE is sent to the main roster post mania, NXT will finally be able to let the the characters theyve been building take off. Honestly I'm not sure they're going to the main roster if only because they're really pushing the idea that either Gargano or Ciampa needs to go and losing one of them and UE at once would pretty much destroy NXT's main event scene, especially given how fumbling Dream's character is right now. Plus NXT's steady tag division basically consists entirely of UE. Though I suppose it's not like NXT is a stranger to having a non-existent tag division or like the main roster cares about that either.

let's be honest. Vince and HHH expected NXT to crush AEW in the ratings. HHH even compared NXT to attitude era. WTF.

I wouldn’t look to much into it That show is on March 11 and will air from the Performance Center in Orlando. Interesting. My second thoughts for why this show is on a Tuesday is they might want to get some wrestlemania week traffic to stay an extra day and check out NXT before they had back to the airport in Orlando. Who knows.
