NXT to move September 2nd show due to NHL playoffs
According to USA Network’s upcoming schedule, NXT will be moving nights for a week due to the NHL playoffs.
The episode previously scheduled for Wednesday, September 2nd will air on Tuesday, September 1st at 8 PM Eastern as a playoff game is scheduled in their usual slot.
With the playoffs set to conclude no later than October 4th, it’s unknown if this could affect future weeks of NXT as USA’s schedule is only available through September 2nd as of this writing.
Neither USA nor WWE have officially announced the schedule change.
On the AEW front, their Wednesday, September 2nd schedule will also see a slight change according to Dave Meltzer.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said that night’s episode of Dynamite was originally supposed to be followed by a one hour Countdown to All Out show. However, the show will now be 30 minutes and will air on All Out Saturday at 5:30 PM Eastern prior to The Buy-In pre-show. It’s unclear whether the pre-show will still air on TNT or only YouTube.
