Backstage Update On How NBC Universal Feels About WWE NXT

There is a backstage update provided on how NBC Universal feels about WWE NXT.

WWE’s relationship with their television partners will be a bigger topic of contention as 2023 looms near due to pending contract renewals.

The company has two weekly television shows on their networks in WWE Raw and WWE NXT on the USA Network.

Coming off the heels of their latest premium live event, Halloween Havoc, the brand hit another milestone.

Wrestling Observer’s Andrew Zarian took to Twitter to share a pretty positive stat for the NXT brand.

He tweeted:

Halloween Havoc was NXT’s most-viewed standalone PLE since the start of the Peacock relationship. By Standalone

I mean running a weekend where there is no main roster PLE #NXT #WWE #Peacock

Zarian later added that the relationship between WWE NXT and NBC Universal is looking good, tweeting:

More on Halloween Havoc –

Execs were “encouraged” that additional promotion helped translate into additional viewership for this PLE

The overall attitude towards NXT from NBCU side of things has been very positive over the past few weeks.

NXT Halloween Havoc was headlined by Bron Breakker defeating Ilja Dragunov and JD McDonagh in a triple threat match to retain the NXT Championship.
