WWE 2019 TV Deals (SD on FOX, Raw on USA)

[Majingir]

SD will be in the 8-10pm timeslot.

Funny thing I saw, FOX has a new show called NeXt. Too bad it's not NXT.

[Majingir]

Sounds like there might be NXT on Fox Sports afterall.

They're still working out a deal to get NXT there. I'd imagine it's still Wednesday nights.

That'll be something. AEW on TNT vs NXT on FS1

The Wednesday Night Wars!

I wonder what it'd be like for other countries who don't get FS1. Would WWE keep NXT on the network for those countries?

And would NXT be LIVE?

I hope for NXT's sake it is not live. The quality of the show will go downhill. And you-know-who might decide to play a bigger role each week.

It would most likely be a longer show too

Oh for sure. They'd be going from taping a ton of shows in one day to producing just 50 minutes of content live every week. They'd feel like it just made more sense to add another hour if they already have the fans and arena ready to go. And then you have some early developmental talent out there on live TV with no net. They'd be walking on even more egg shells.

Add another hour for those guys, call it the NXT Live Kickoff Show. Boom, done.
