It's official -- NXT is moving to Tuesday nights after WrestleMania. (WWE)

NXT moves to Tuesday nights beginning April 13

STAMFORD, Conn. - WWE and USA Network today announced a multi-year extension for NXT, which will move to Tuesday nights live on USA Network at 8/7 C beginning April 13. The new agreement for the live, weekly two-hour show furthers WWE and USA's nearly three decade-long relationship.

"We are incredibly proud of our three-decade partnership with WWE and in extending USA's NXT deal, we are further establishing our portfolio as an unrivaled home for quality WWE content," said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCU. "By transitioning NXT to a Tuesday timeslot where WWE has performed well in the past, we are giving our passionate fanbase more of what they love with back-to-back nights of exhilarating, live programming."

"We are thrilled to continue WWE and NBCUniversal's longstanding partnership with the extension of NXT on USA Network," said Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy & Development. "The move to Tuesdays provides a new opportunity for us to grow the NXT brand and enables our partner, USA Network, to continue to build its strong portfolio of sports and entertainment programming."

Since launching on the network in September 2019, NXT has lifted USA to rank among the top cable entertainment networks in its regular Wednesday timeslot. In 2020, the weekly block averaged 847,000 total viewers and its special Tuesday episodes were even stronger, delivering gains of nearly +30% among the key 18-49 and 25-54 demos.

NXT is revolutionizing the world of sports entertainment with innovative styles from trend-setting and unapologetic Superstars including Finn Bálor, Adam Cole, Io Shirai, Karrion Kross, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. The brand's diverse roster consists of elite athletes from the NFL, collegiate and amateur sports, MMA and international sports such as rugby, kushti and kabaddi. It is also the birthplace to more than 80 percent of the current Raw and SmackDown rosters including Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Bray Wyatt, Bianca Belair, The Street Profits, Riddle and King Corbin.

All new episodes will be available on demand in the United States exclusively on Peacock, the day after its airing on USA Network.

NXT will continue to emanate from the state-of-the-art Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.

In this interview Triple H talks about NXT's impending move: "We now feel like we're in a good place where we can move that consistent fanbase over to Tuesdays. We believe they'll follow us. That way we can grow the brand more given the lead in from 'Monday Night Raw,' which we've seen in the past."

William Shatner is going into the WWE Hall of Fame's celebrity wing this year.

2:00 PM ET. Here's a sad epithet to the Hana Kimura story -- a man in Japan has been charged with cyberbullying her BUT he doesn't even have to appear in court and can simply pay the 9,000 yen (roughly $80) fine to make the case go away.

Here's some better news -- Road Dogg Brian James' wife Tracy says he can come home from the hospital: "Wanna give everybody an update I just got the best birthday ever!! my husband has no blockages and he's getting to come home today we still have some doctor visits to take him to but his heart is good. Thank you all so much for all the prayers I do believe in that."

Dalton Castle has renewed his contract with Ring of Honor.

To make a long story short Bobby Lashley says WWE should bring Lio Rush back. That would be kind of hard though given he's the AAA Cruiserweight Champion right now and a regular for several different promotions.
