According to "NXT's" official X account, General Manager Ava will be making announcement on the show. There are no details as to what the special announcement could be pertaining, though it's been speculated that it could have something to do with the brand's traditional December premium live event, Deadline, which still hasn't been officially announced.
"NXT" will likely try to have as much happening on the show as possible to help bolster ratings in the head-to-head contest with "Dynamite." Last time AEW and "NXT" aired on the same night was the "Title Tuesday" edition of "Dynamite," which saw the AEW show do historic lows due to being moved to a different night and time slot. This time, "NXT" will have the disadvantage of airing at an unusual time. "NXT" has been bumped from its usual Tuesday night slot due to The CW's coverage of the 2024 United States election.
