NXT Will Be Going Back Live From Next Week

NXT action will reportedly be aired live starting next week, according to a report from PWInsider.

POSTWrestling's John Pollock broke the news on Thursday night, noting WWE will be airing Wednesday episodes, plus NXT TakeOver 31, from the WWE Performance Center instead of Full Sail University. PWInsider has reported receiving confirmation since.

"WWE NXT will be going live every Wednesday on the USA Network as of this Wednesday 10/7, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

"NXT is currently slated to be live every week in October with the plans being for that to be the norm going forward. In recent months, NXT had been taped in advance from Full Sail University."

Triple H promised TakeOver will be "game-changing" for WWE, teasing a unique look. That was after news of the event possibly being moved to the ThunderDome broke. It's reported that 205 Live will be taped inside the Performance Center as well.

Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer has also revealed WWE's reason for taping 205 Live on the same dates as NXT. Meltzer claims the promotion is keen on avoiding another COVID-19 outbreak.

Raw and SmackDown were taped separately but the notion is that if there's another outbreak, taping separately would lessen the chances of a bigger spread.

“There has also been talk of going back to live weekly shows from the Performance Center as opposed to Full Sail, every Wednesday as opposed to every other week," Meltzer added.

Over To You, HHH...

It's been a period filled with twists and turns for the company and they've had to make adjustments to various aspects of production on a near-weekly basis.

Triple H's promise of a game-changer has us pretty intrigued and, if TakeOver lives up to that, it would be a much-needed positive for WWE.
