WWE NXT Debuts on CW Network October 1

WWE NXT is set to debut on the CW Network on October 1st, featuring a special episode in Chicago and a lineup that includes several title matches, notably Ethan Page defending the NXT Championship against Trick Williams, with CM Punk as the guest referee. Shawn Michaels, NXT's head, emphasized that while there will be significant visual changes, the core values and mission of NXT—developing diverse young talent—will remain intact. The show will undergo a presentation overhaul, shifting away from its previous yellow color scheme to a more straightforward black, white, and silver theme, akin to the Las Vegas Raiders. This marks the beginning of a new era for NXT, as it transitions to the CW Network for at least the next five years. The anticipation surrounding the premiere is heightened by the involvement of high-profile stars and the promise of an entertaining production.
