The initial reports indicated that WWE would be moving NXT to Wednesday that week to avoid going up against presidential election coverage. NXT will be going up against AEW Dynamite instead.

In November 2023, WWE and The CW announced a five-year agreement to bring NXT to broadcast television for the first time in its 13-year history.
