WWE has recently moved NXT to the USA Network from the original home of the show, WWE Network with the hope of getting more viewers on live TV. But the company didn’t reveal how much they’re getting from the USA Network to air NXT every week. This made some people nervous as rumors started hinting the company might not be getting anything to air the developmental brand’s show every week.

However, that is not true, at all as per the claiming of a reliable source. Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE is receiving $30 million from USA Network to air NXT every Wednesday night. This Network also broadcasts Monday Night Raw on TV ever since the last decade based on one of the mouth-watering deals in the history of WWE.

As per the veteran source, making this much money is far better than earning zero especially since Vince McMahon, the money-maker is running things around,
“That much comes down to $576,923 per episode of NXT if you’re talking about 52 episodes. Of course, NXT doesn’t have live shows every week due to Christmas so that number is down a bit.
Just over half a million per episode is much better than the zero number that was rumored”

It was also recently reported that NXT Superstars are finally getting raises in their paycheck. They will have to sign a new multi-year deal that would allow earning even more money than the existing scenario. No wonder why the Black and Yellow brand is continuously upgrading their game to give tough competition to the main roster shows.
During WWE’s recent 2019 fourth-quarter earnings report, it was revealed that the company made $139.3 million this year and $72.2 million, last year in terms of “core content rights fees.” No specific mention was there regarding NXT that led the fans to speculate whether WWE is making zero money out of the new NXT deal on USA Network. However, that’s not the case as Vince McMahon would never do anything where he would gain no money.
