WWE NXT gets new home in UK

WWE NXT has landed a new home in the UK.

Starting on January 3, 2024, NXT will now air exclusively on the WWE Network, beginning with its New Years Evil show.

The weekly NXT show had been airing on TNT Sports, which was formerly BT Sport, since January 2020. NXT is known as WWE's developmental brand, which showcases its up-and-coming talent before they move to the main roster.

Back in November, WWE announced that NXT will move from the USA Network to The CW for US fans, starting in October 2024.

New Years Evil will see Ilja Dragunov put the NXT Championship on the line against Trick Williams. NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria will put her title on the line against Blair Davenport.

Elsewhere, Tiffany Stratton will face Fallon Henley in a Ranch Hand or Servant Match. If Stratton wins the match, Henley must be her servant for a day but if Henley wins, Stratton must work on Henley's ranch for a day.

Speaking to Digital Spy in October, Stratton opened up about her brutal Extreme Rules match against Becky Lynch at No Mercy, revealing who came up with the viral Barbie spot.

"That was definitely Becky's idea," Stratton said. "Becky has amazing ideas, but she thought it would be so cool and so wacky to just have that visual.

"Everyone thinks [the bag] would have like thumbtacks or something like that, and then [she] pours it out and it's Barbies and Barbie heads and we squash the Barbies and stuff. So that was definitely her idea."

Catch up on Raw, Smackdown, NXT and all the big WWE action via the WWE Network or TNT Sports. US viewers can access the WWE Network via Peacock.
