The CW Network and WWE have announced that all NXT Premium Live Events (PLEs) henceforth will air exclusively on The CW. Beginning with The Great American Bash later on July 12th, The CW will broadcast 20 PLEs in their entirety live on both coasts over the next several years, including Stand and Deliver, Deadline and Vengeance Day.

With the addition of NXT PLEs to The CW’s lineup, the network is now the exclusive home for all NXT programming in the US – which showcases WWE’s next generation of talent – also airing weekly live NXT installments every Tuesday night. WWE will continue to produce all PLEs.

“WWE NXT has energised our Tuesday nights by consistently delivering a loyal and passionate fanbase to The CW every week,” commented Brad Schwartz, President, The CW Network. “Adding WWE NXT Premium Live Events to our schedule is a natural fit, providing one broadcast destination for audiences to watch all their favorite Superstars, storylines and championship matches.”

“The CW has played an integral role in raising the profile of our up-and-coming Superstars, and we are excited to bring NXT Premium Live Events to broadcast television for the first time ever,” added Shawn Michaels (pictured), WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative.

Launched by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul ‘HHH’ Levesque, NXT has aired weekly since 2012 and features upcoming talent. Several WrestleMania 42 participants were developed under the NXT banner, including Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Led by Michaels, NXT on The CW has showcased the rise of several ascending WWE Superstars, including Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez, Je’Von Evans and Sol Ruca.

In the UK and Ireland and throughout Europe, NXT streams live on Netflix.
