WWE's television programming will undergo major changes in late 2024 and early 2025, particularly where it airs. Raw will be broadcast on Netflix from January 2025, while SmackDown will leave FOX for USA Network, and NXT will leave the latter and will be broadcast on CW Network, starting October 1.
During this Tuesday, through a post on his X/Twitter account, Shawn Michaels revealed that the first two episodes of NXT on the CW Network will be outside the Capitol Wrestling Center. The NXT boss revealed that the debut episode of NXT on The CW Network will be held at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, while the second episode will be held at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
For now, it remains to be seen whether, after these first two episodes, NXT will return to the CWC, or whether it will continue to be held in other arenas. It was also revealed that CM Punk will be present at the episode that will take place in Chicago, while Randy Orton will be present at the episode that will take place in St. Louis.
