WWE is making big moves in regards to their broadcasting in 2019.
Shortly after this was made official, rumors began to go around indicating that a big change could be coming for NXT as well. It appears that might just be true. Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that there have been discussions of putting NXT on FS1. Satin says the announcement is “imminent”:

Brad Shepard of Bodyslam.net confirmed the news as well, claiming that the deal was done last week, and the announcement should be made no later than next week:

This is huge news for NXT, which will now be available to a much larger audience should the news prove to be true. It should be interesting to see what kind of success the program has on FS1.
It should also be noted that Shepard teased the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event to Saturdays on FOX. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more…
