While neither WWE nor the USA Network has announced this, the USA Network’s program grid for Wednesday, December 13 lists WWE NXT at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time.
It is not clear if this will be the episode that would normally go up on the WWE Network that day, or a compilation type of show. The show is listed for 55 minutes instead of a usual 60-minute slot. If it is the first hour of the show taped this past Wednesday in Orlando, Florida, it would be built around the tournament to crown a number one contender for the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Philadelphia. Matches taped for the tournament are Killian Dain vs. Trent Seven, Johnny Gargano vs. Kassius Ohno, and Lars Sullivan vs. Roderick Strong. A No Disqualification Match between Ruby Riott and Sonya Deville was also taped.
It makes sense for NXT to air because that week is the annual WWE Week on the USA Network, and Tribute to the Troops, which would air on Wednesday, is being moved to Thursday, as the USA Network is airing the movie Thor in prime time on Wednesday night.
We’ll have an update when more information becomes available.
