As some had predicted, NXT content is no longer available on Peacock, and all such content has now been moved to the WWE NXT YouTube channel.

Bryan Alvarez of f4wonline noted on X, "All of the NXT content that was on Peacock is now on YouTube."

WWE has recently been uploading full NXT episodes, full NXT PLEs, and full NXT matches to the NXT YouTube channel, and a quick look shows 447 NXT episodes, 60 PLEs, and 176 full matches. The 2017 Mae Young Classic has also been uploaded, as has the full first season of the original NXT when it was still in the game show format.

It was announced last August that WWE and ESPN had agreed a five-year deal for PLEs to be exclusive to the broadcast giant, with WWE netting a reported $325 per year as part of that deal. The following month saw Wrestlepalooza kick off this working arrangement, though NXT PLEs were still tied to Peacock until 15th March, 2026. So, from here on out, the NXT library and upcoming NXT PLEs will call YouTube home.

Of course, weekly NXT TV will continue to air on The CW in the US as part of a five-year rights deal that started in October 2024.

For fans in the UK and certain other international territories, new weekly NXT shows and PLEs have been housed on Netflix since 7th January 2025's New Year's Evil. As well as those events, Netflix's NXT Vault has select shows dating back to TakeOver: R-Evolution in 2014. So, for those fans, it's now great to see such an extensive amount of historical NXT content available on YouTube, and it sure is wild to go back and watch the very first episode, opened up by Jim Ross and Dusty Rhodes, and kicking the NXT brand off with Bo Dallas vs. Rick Viktor.
