The transition to WWE NXT’s CW network in October 2024 has proven to be a huge success.
Network President Brad Schwartz said the partnership was “a CW’s absolute game changer and I think it was a WWE game changer.” Speaking to Variety, Schwartz praised NXT’s performance.
He revealed that the recently concluded quarter was NXT’s “highest rated NXT quarter of five years.” This is an increase of 19% from the previous year. ” Schwartz highlighted NXT’s control on Tuesday night.
The impact is “absolutely crushed for us,” explaining it as a key reason for the CW’s overall growth of 40% of the entire season overseason. He added that, with the exception of Fox’s animation, NXT is gaining the highest concentration of these important demographics.
This will run the first run of NXT on the broadcast network after moving out of the USA network. Schwartz confirmed the CW and confirmed that WWE is “continuously” debating new ways to expand relationships, such as Trick Williams in “All American” built on additional WWE programming, a current crossover like Tony Dangello in “Wild Cards.”
