WWE NXT prepares for CW debut with star-studded matches and special appearances

WWE NXT is preparing for its move from USA to The CW network, with two upcoming shows scheduled outside their usual Florida location. A November 5 taping at the Performance Center has been canceled, possibly to accommodate a double taping the week before or to avoid conflicts with WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Despite rumors, NXT Level Up, a show featuring newcomers, is not being discontinued and has exciting matches planned for future episodes.

The CW premiere of NXT on October 2 will feature high-profile matches, including Roxanne Perez defending her Women’s Championship against Giulia, and Ethan Page facing Trick Williams for the NXT Championship with CM Punk as guest referee. The following week in St. Louis, hometown star Randy Orton will make his NXT debut against Je’Von Evans, with rapper Sexyy Red also set to appear. These events mark an exciting new chapter for NXT as it transitions to its new network home.
