UK WWE fans will have to change their viewing habits if they want to continue to watch NXT on a weekly basis.
Starting next week the TNT Sports channel will continue airing Smackdown and Raw but will no longer be showing NXT.
The decision couldn’t come at a worse time for NXT or UK Fans as NXT’s New Year’s Evil special airs next week.
If UK fans still wish to watch NXT they will have to subscribe to the WWE Network there for £9.99 a month.
TNT Sports has not given an official reason as to why they are no longer carrying NXT programming.
Up until recently, TNT Sports used to be BT Sport. The BT Group officially entered into a joint partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe last year and BT Sport became TNT Sports.
The UK brand of NXT was put on hiatus last year laying off the majority of the talent or shifting them to NXT in the USA. At the time, the WWE stated they would be launching NXT Europe but that brand has yet to see the light of day.
