In October 2019, WWE's 205 Live brand merged under the NXT brand with the 205 Live streaming television show becoming a supplementary show of NXT.[1] On February 15, 2022, WWE announced that 205 Live would be replaced by a new show called NXT Level Up, which would stream in 205 Lives former Friday night slot at 10 pm Eastern Time on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in international markets.[2] [3] The show premiered on February 18, 2022. The commentators for the show are Blake Chadwick (using the ring name "Blake Howard") and Byron Saxton, and the ring announcer is Sarah Schreiber.[4] In the main event of the inaugural episode, Edris Enofé defeated Kushida.[5]
After SmackDown LowDown started airing live after SmackDown with the subsequent show moving to the USA Network, NXT Level Up premieres after SmackDown LowDown airs at 10:40 PM Eastern Time.
