Following WWE’s announcement that NXT would be airing live on the USA Network, several WWE superstars and personel, including John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Mauro Ranallo, would take to Twitter to show support for the yellow-and black brand.
Thrilled everyday to see the progression in these Superstars. Now we get to tear the house down every Wednesday night on @USA_Network. #WeAreNXT https://t.co/PM2xahzpWE

A long step away from “developmental system down in Florida.” From the first #NXTArRIVAL on @WWENetwork to a weekly television show on @USA_Network. Congratulations to @WWE and @WWENXT! https://t.co/zJNt5FANBI

The praise didn’t just come from the current WWE roster, as AEW number one title contender Chris Jericho also wished congratulations to NXT, stating that the competition will breed a better product.
Congrats to @WWENXT for making the big move to the @USA_Network! Runners always race faster when somebody is right behind them. Gonna be fun to see which team the world decides to join! #ChooseJericho @AEWrestling @AEWonTNT
