NXT Global

By Scott Keith on February 14, 2019

Scott,

A while back when NXT UK started their first set of weekly takings, I recall Triple H giving an interview in which he stated (iirc) that his goal and vision was not just a PC/Developmental system in various regions around the world, but a viable alternative brand/quasi-territory system, in which you could have guys get paid enough to remain within the NXT “family” their whole careers, occasionally moving to a different region to gain exposure to a new audience, etc.

How serious do you think this take was by Hunter, and how feasible do you see it being as an endgame? Because personally, as a fan, for as invested as I am in the NXT and UK product and style of work, I am equally as…apathetic about the main roster. I’m not mad, I don’t think it “sucks” – I just don’t care. I know what it is, and what it is going to be, and that it is never going to “get” certain performers/groups. I don’t expect it to change, because I don’t think Vince & co give a damn what fans like me think. So a call up from NXT right now is like a death sentence – Undisputed Era, Gargano, Ciampa, you name it, and I just dread the day when I watch their last TakeOver and am left wondering which one will be jobbing to Nia Jax on Raw.

Any chance we get NXT as an ongoing, WWE-indie territory as we move forward?

That's always been their stated goal, so I'd say YES, that is absolutely a possibility. Really, what are they "developing" for talent at this point anyway? Ricochet and Gargano and Ciampa, who are already better workers than 90% of the main roster?
