NXT launched in 2010 as WWE's developmental brand and now airs Tuesday nights on The CW.
NXT is WWE's developmental brand, where new signings learn to wrestle on television before being called up to Raw or SmackDown. It airs on Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on The CW in the US and has its own championships and premium live events, such as Halloween Havoc and Stand & Deliver.
NXT also works with partner promotions: AAA titles have been defended on NXT, and wrestlers from TNA have appeared through a working relationship.

A fan's guide
NXT is where to watch future main-roster stars before they arrive on Raw or SmackDown. Its premium live events — Halloween Havoc, Deadline, Vengeance Day, Stand & Deliver — often feature some of the best in-ring wrestling WWE produces each year.
NXT also has partnerships with other promotions, so wrestlers from AAA and TNA appear regularly. It airs on The CW on Tuesday nights.
Our take
NXT is at its best as a place where wrestlers are given time to develop characters, and its storytelling around the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and Halloween Havoc in October 2026 shows that it still can be. The CW gives it broader reach than it has had since the Wednesday-night era.
The tension in NXT is between developing new talent and featuring established names; we think the brand is healthiest when its main events belong to wrestlers who have come through it.
What's next
NXT airs Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on The CW. Next on its calendar is Halloween Havoc, where Tony D'Angelo challenges for the NXT Championship.
