3 Changes that might happen when NXT moves to the USA Network
The creation of AEW is one of the biggest events to happen in wrestling in the past 10 years. AEW is poised to provide some much-needed competition in a landscape that has been dominated by WWE for the past 2 decades. Wrestling fans all over the world are getting ready for a second coming of the famed wrestling wars. The companies are already gearing up to try and outdo each other.
One of the things that WWE could be planning to do to counter AEW is move NXT away from the WWE Network to TV. Initially, when it was reported that NXT would move to TV, most people thought that it would move to FS1. This is because Smackdown is heading to Fox in October, and most people thought that Fox would be interested in getting NXT.
However, according to reporting from both Dave Meltzer and WrestleVotes, NXT will most likely move to the USA Network.
An article on the WWE website revealed that WWE officials plan to make a big announcement on this week’s episode of RAW. Most observers expect that Vince McMahon and Triple H will announce the NXT move to the USA Network.
Such a big move will definitely come with a lot of changes. In this article, we look at 3 changes that might happen if NXT moves to the USA Network.
#3 Main roster stars to appear on NXT
Since the early days of NXT, several main roster stars have appeared on the brand. Most of the appearances are usually one-offs. However, some, such as Killian Dain, Fandango and Tyler Breeze moved back to NXT after a stint on the main roster. Some of the stars who appeared in NXT for one-off appearances include the Bella Twins, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton.
If NXT moves to the USA Network, WWE is going to use main roster stars to increase the number of people who watch the show. The appearance of main roster stars might give fans some of the matches they’ve been dying to see, such as the OC vs. the Undisputed Era.
Some of the stars that might appear on NXT include Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
