Limited commercials for NXT next week on USA Network

The October 2 episode of NXT on USA Network will have limited commercial interruption, a tactic which WWE hopes will keep viewers glued to their program rather than changing channels to TNT where AEW will have its debut.

WWE has in the past used the limited commercials or no commercials at all for special Raw shows, including the one when current U.S. President Donald Trump “bought” was in charge of the show after “buying” Raw from Vince McMahon the week before.

Starting from next week, NXT will be airing on USA Network for the full two hours and the company is promising one of the best shows to counter AEW. So far, there are two title matches announced with Adam Cole defending the NXT title against Matt Riddle and Shayna Baszler defending the NXT Women’s title against Candice LaRae.
