The CW's president speaks about WWE NXT on the channel.
Back in October of 2024, WWE NXT, WWE's developmental brand, would begin airing on The CW on Tuesday nights, with the ratings for the show maintaining a healthy audience throughout the brand's time on the channel so far.
While speaking to Variety in a new interview, The CW's president Brian Schwartz spoke about the link between WWE NXT and the channel, with Schwartz calling NXT a 'game changer'.
“It’s been an absolute game changer for the CW, and I think it’s been a game changer for WWE, this last quarter that just ended was the highest rated NXT quarter in five years. It’s up 19% year over year. In adults 18 to 49 and 25 to 54, we’re regularly being Fox on Tuesday nights. It’s unheard of, so it’s been absolutely crushing for us. It’s one of the big reasons why our network as a whole is up 40% season over season…Besides animation on Fox, [NXT] has the highest concentration of 18-49 and 25-54 on all broadcast."
