WWE NXT Live

By Scott Keith on March 2, 2018

You've said many times that NXT only exists to show WWE stockholders that Triple H has the capability to run a wrestling company. That being said, what happens to NXT when Vince is no longer in the picture?

Do you think there's any chance they sign with Fox next year and NXT has grown to where they could actually replace Smackdown? WWE Monday Night Raw on Fox and WWE NXT Live on FS1?
I'm not saying it would be the current format of NXT taped from Full Sail. It would in the same arenas as Smackdown but it could really be an alternative to RAW. They're going to want all of the big name sports entertainers on RAW (Fox). NXT on FS1 could be the well booked work rate show. It's on a sports network, it could really have a different sport aspect to it. AJ, Nakamura, Ricochet, Balor, Zayn, Rollins, Undisputed Era, Aleister Black, etc. could be in NXT.
Any developmental talent could just work with Evolve and put it on the network.

I dunno, man, if that Fox deal goes through its gonna be the Wild West for the business. RAW moving to network prime time would pretty much mean all bets are off for everything, so I suppose it could happen. WWE had been trying to get a TV deal for NXT for a long time and basically settled for having it be on the Network domestically, so maybe the same thing might be going through their heads. That being said, the SmackDown brand in general is worth too much to just abandon, so it's likely not realistic.
