VIDEO: The CW releases first WWE NXT ad ahead of October launch

The WWE NXT era on The CW begins in just a few months and the network has officially begun to get the word out.

On Saturday, the network released the first ad spot on social media for the impending arrival featuring several of the key young NXT stars like Trick Williams, Roxanne Perez, Kelani Jordan and others. It’s a rapid fire 30-second ad spot with lots of moves:

NXT debuts on the broadcast network on Tuesday, October 1st after a multi-year run on USA Network in the United States, remaining in its traditional 8-10 PM Eastern slot.

The five-year deal was announced in November of last year with TKO head Ari Emanuel telling investors it was a 70% increase over the previous contract with NBCUniversal, estimated at between $20-$25 million annually.

The move is one of many for WWE programming this fall as SmackDown will move to USA after their run with Fox comes to an end in September, and Raw will move to Netflix starting in January 2025 after decades on USA.
