NXT To Be Moved Due To The Olympics

NXT To Be Moved Due To The Olympics

July 14, 2021 241 By Tim Jarrell

The Olympics were moved to 2021 and that means NXT is moved as well.

The Olympics were supposed to run in Toyko, Japan in 2020. Yet due to COVID-19 it was pushed back a year and will begin airing on July 23rd on the NBC Universal family of networks. With that, it will impact NXT airing on the USA Network.

According to the broadcast schedule for USA Network does not list NXT on the 27th. Yet NXT is listed on the 27th airing on SyFy. Once this was noticed by a number of people online, Mike Johson of PWInsider was able to confirm that in fact, the July 27th NXT will air on SyFy and not USA Network due to the Olympics.

It looks like on NXT will be affected by this on the USA Network and the Olympics broadcast schedule will not impact Monday Night RAW on Monday Nights.

If we do hear anything else on NXT airing on SyFy in two weeks, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
