Seems WWE might be the first one to blink in the Wednesday Night War since WrestleVotes reported WWE officials have had recent talks over the idea of moving NXT to a different night due to the viewership and rankings bumps its been getting in recent weeks.

It was reported today by @Wrestlevotes that over the past month or so, WWE officials have had discussions regarding a possible move from Wednesday nights. No decision is expected to be made any time soon, but talks are ongoing.
Last night saw the first NXT Super Tuesday episode air on the USA Network due to the NHL Playoffs. NXT will also air next Tuesday night but the show will return to the normal Wednesday timeslot on September 16. It was noted that the ratings for last night and next week's shows might have some impact on the decision to move NXT to another night.
There is no word on if they are considering Tuesday nights for the potential new home for NXT, or another night.

Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp also hinted on Twitter late last month over the likelihood NXT gets moved off of Wednesdays soon if the numbers for their unopposed shows were very good.
