NXT and NXT UK added to new UK TV deal

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

BT Sport, the new TV broadcast rights holders for WWE in the UK, just announced both NXTs will air on their channel in addition to RAW and SmackDown.

[eJm]

Also NXT will be shown live at 1am like Raw and Smackdown so for the UK and Ireland at least, the Wednesday Night Wars can actually be a thing!

[Steveweiser]

NXT will now be the first regularly run show airing on BT Sport, though SmackDown will be the first live show. A bunch of supplementary programming will air tomorrow, including BT's award winning No Filter series which goes behind the scenes of the November UK Tour.

[Steveweiser]

Tomorrow's schedule, which will be either side of BT Sport's all day Premier League coverage on BT Sport 1...

8am - No Filter: WWE
8:30am - WWE 24: Becky Lynch
9:30am - WWE 24: Kofi Kingston
10:30am - WrestleMania: Legendary Moments
11:30am - No Filter: WWE
(Premier League)
10:30pm - RAW Highlights
11:30pm - No Filter: WWE
Midnight - WrestleMania: Legendary Moments
1am - NXT (Same time broadcast as US)

Sweet. I was just moaning about the UK getting screwed by the USA deal the other day! Awesome.

So how does this effect those of us in the U.K. and Ireland with regards to nxt U.K. On Thursdays ? would it be fair to assume that the nxt repeat on Thursday night Friday morning on the WWE network will still happen ?

I’d be shocked if this deal affected anything like that since the USA deal hasn’t really affected when NXT gets uploaded to the network and I’d say that take precedence over the BT Sport deal is.

I’m not changing my internet provider just to watch this crap.

Looks like I’m watching BT Sport all day tomorrow then. 4 football matches in a row and this either side? Spoiling us.

If you want your PPVs to be cheap you do.
