WWE confirmed on Tuesday morning that NXT will be moving from the WWE Network to the USA Network on Sept. 18.

The show will change into a two-hour live show, effectively kicking off a "Wednesday Night War" with All Elite Wrestling once the promotion debuts its live show on TNT starting on Oct. 2. WWE wrestlers on both NXT and the main roster took to Twitter shortly after the news broke to give their thoughts on the news. A few AEW stars also posted their reactions

A long step away from “developmental system down in Florida.” From the first #NXTArRIVAL on @WWENetwork to a weekly television show on @USA_Network. Congratulations to @WWE and @WWENXT! https://t.co/zJNt5FANBI

I've said since the beginning that I was going to do everything in my power to help get NXT the recognition it deserved.. but I couldn't do it by myself. WE built this thing, WE made the world take notice and now WE are gonna make history.
