NXT No Mercy Live Discussion, Sunday September 27th 2025

yes, These shows are still on Peacock until the orginal expiry of the WWE deal, which should be March.

At that point who knows. Don't know if they'll sell those to someone else (it better be someone they already have a TV deal with lol), keep it on Peacock, or put it on Youtube.

My guess is they’re 100% going to sell it to whomever offers them the most for it, but I have a feeling peacock will try to retain it and will probably retain it. I kinda hope they do regardless just so because it’s just easier for everyone since the content is already there and people are already used to that format.

The other contender might just be Netflix since they already have the international rights so then Netflix are basically have everything except for the US rights to the main roster shows.

I actually wonder if they bundled the NXT PLEs with the SNME Peacock deal.

It would make the most sense to there if you want two different platforms paying premium dollar for splitting up the content, you pretty much have to give the main roster ples to one and pretty much everything else to the other to justify the prices.

That’s another reason why I’m kind of hoping Peacock wins because even though they’ll lose the WWE PLEs if they retain the NXT and SNME shows, they probably won’t delete the archive footage even though WWE has been doubling them up on the YouTube channel, I prefer the UI of an actual streaming service when it comes to searching for shows I wanna watch.

Cole Custer And Sam Mayer To Appear On 9/23 WWE NXT - Fightful | WWE News, AEW News, Pro Wrestling Backstage News

NASCAR drivers Cole Custer and Sam Mayer will appear on the September 23rd episode of WWE NXT.

I need to ask my resident NASCAR fan @O-Blaze these people of any renown? I think I hear that one of them has been there before? I assume they're Xfinity series people given CW has Xfinity and not regular.

My NASCAR knowledge is limited to cars driving left (lol I only slightly kid).

Cole is in the Cup Series, but was just recently in Xfinity. Last season even. He's an okay driver. His dad is President of the team he's on lol. Sam is in the Xfinity series, driving for the same team as Cole, just obviously in the Xfinity series over Cup lol. He's okay also.

I just noticed this is still on Peacock so maybe WWE realized splitting up the branding makes sense for them anyway WWE shows are on ESPN and NXT shows will be on Peacock or wherever they go when the deal ends.

Just keep the WWE logo inside the NXT logo on top of the PLE’s and you’re good to go.

The ESPN deal was only for main roster PLEs.

The ESPN deal was only for main roster PLEs.

Yeah, I gathered that which is why I said it makes sense for them to definitely make sure to put the NXT branding on NXT PLE’s now since they’re not gonna be featured on the same service as the WWE main roster ones.
