WWE is gearing up for a series of seismic shifts in its programming. “WWE Raw” is set to debut on Netflix in January 2025, “WWE Smackdown” will move to the USA Network, and “WWE NXT” is heading to CW in October. But wait, there’s more! According to WWE’s Chief Content Officer and Head of Creative, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, “NXT” leaving the USA Network is just the tip of the iceberg.
Speaking at the Money in the Bank 2024 post-press conference, “The Game” provided a tantalizing glimpse into WWE’s future. He hinted at a slew of changes coming to “NXT” this fall and suggested that “Raw” and “Smackdown” viewers should also brace for new developments as December approaches.
“We are just getting started. I really feel like that,” Triple H proclaimed with the confidence of a seasoned pro. “We got a whole fall thing coming up with CW for NXT. Which, by the way, Shawn is just killing it right now. Whether that’s talent development, recruitment, NXT in general, I can’t say enough good stuff about it. I’m in awe of what they’re doing down there. When they move to CW, when Smackdown makes the move to USA, when Raw makes the move to Netflix, we’re just getting rolling. We’re lining up all this stuff that’s gonna happen. A lot of the changes you see now, we are slow rolling things out. When we get to the fall, when we get to the winter, there’s gonna be a lot.”
Triple H’s excitement was palpable, especially when discussing John Cena’s return to the ring for a full year after his retirement announcement at Money in the Bank. The Chief Content Officer also expressed his gratitude for running creative with the current roster of WWE talent, a team he clearly believes is ready to elevate the company to new heights.
Stay tuned, WWE Universe. The winds of change are blowing, and they’re bringing with them a whole new era of wrestling entertainment!
