NXT is seemingly gearing up for a move to Tuesdays.
According to Mike Johnson at PWInsider, the production calendar for WWE lists NXT as taping on Tuesday, April 13.
WWE has not confirmed NXT moving to Tuesdays. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reached out to talent and staff within NXT that noted that their internal talent relations apps show blank schedules for that time period.
NXT talent and staff I've spoken to say that their internal talent relations app show blank schedules for the week after WrestleMania. I would imagine Tuesdays will happen then, but WWE hasn't confirmed. There are different calendars for different departments.
