Except there is rumor that Smackdown might move to Thursday. I just wish Impact had waited to see how they did with NXT on Tuesdays. Just feels like a desperate move. Knee jerk reaction. Oh well, Impact will keep on keeping on and help build future stars.

With this modern age, I have no idea why anyone would think moving to certain days of a week would matter. People DVR and watch highlights, matches, whenever,wherever. From mobile devices and other tech, there's no reason to sweat it. Promotions are being seen, if they want to be. 🤷

You want the shows to do the best possible number live. You can't maximize your live viewership if there's another strong show on the same day, so moving is the best option for shows like NXT and Impact. |

Do you really think that many people who watch Impact would watch NXT live? I mean with On Demand they could watch NXT later. The thing is I wish they had given it a couple weeks just to see. They could move if they did see a large dip in viewers. Anthem owns part of AXS so they have some stroke. If they kept pretty much the same viewership on Tuesdays then it would have been best to stay instead of changing days, again. Especially with rumor of Smackdown moving to Thursdays which means Impact will have to move yet another time, to Fridays in that case. |

I do think a decent percentage of the Impact crowd would opt to watch NXT first run and watch Impact on DVR. They could have tested it, like you said, to see how bad the drop would be though. |

Last night's show did under 40,000 on AXS. Again, probably best to move nights especially with NXT starting in two weeks.
