If Smackdown ends up on FS1 as well, it’d be harder to distinguish NXT as their developmental brand. Especially since Wednesday nights are a better viewing night than Friday. But it hasn’t been confirmed if SD ends up on FS1 or big FOX yet.
NXT being on TV makes no sense to me. If it does go to TV, you'd need ANOTHER brand to actually do the developmental stuff.
I'm fairly certain it has been confirmed that SD is starting on FOX and then moving to FS1 eventually.
The NXT house shows serve that purpose now. Lots of people you don’t see on the TV show learning the WWE way of doing things.
According to Meltzer, WWE pitched The Elite on an invasion angle to bring them in and The Young Bucks were close to signing.
Is this real life? Chris Hemsworth Is Playing Hulk Hogan In A Netflix Movie From ‘Joker’ Director Todd Phillips “The biopic will not delve into [Hogan’s recent years] or attempt to encompass an entire life. Instead sources say it will focus on the Hogan’s rise and is described as an origin story of the Hulkster and Hulkamania.” https://uproxx.com/movies/chris-hemsworth-hulk-hogan-movie/
Yeah I dont see them doing that, that’s the main reason to subscribe to the network alongside the PPVs. I mean fox gave them a boat load of money so if they want it on TV they’ll get it on TV but doing that seems counterintuitive to their network business
If you are to believe the dirt sheets, Triple H wasn't told about the NXT call ups this week ahead of time and they are scrambling a little bit because they were already booked for TakeOver. WWE doing something with no real plan in place, not surprising.
Oh God I just read the actual WWE press release about the NXT announcement "Get ready, because this week's NXT will feature a special announcement. With no additional details currently available, speculation about what's in store for the black-and-gold brand is running wild," Is the announcement going to be Hulk Hogan as GM?
Look at Tony Schiavone getting us hype for another glorious season of Atlanta United soccer It's funny how I used to dislike Tony because he came off as such a curmudgeon, but good lord was he light years better than what we get now
Seems like bullshit to me... Vince may have last second wanted the call ups but HHH is involved in that process.
if Vince's rash call-up of Ciampa and Gargano means an aborted end to their ongoing storyline partnership/feud/partnership/feud-thing I will be apoplectic. That's been the single best long-form storyline the WWE has run...maybe ever. Legit ever. And if it's just called off because Vince decided the stars he already ruined were ruined beyond repair and needed new stars to ruin, well...that's just too frustrating a thought to finish
Because if this major announcement I broke my rule of not reading NXT taping spoilers.... This story won’t be fucked up by Vince based on the tapings. But just treat NXT as an alternative universe lol.
Meltzer saying the 4 call ups were Vince McMahons call and he did it because the product was stale and the current roster "arent going to be superstars". Meltzer also says Vince views Lacey Evan's as a replacement for Rousey when Rousey leaves and she is going to be one of the top 3 women on the roster....good luck with that
Evans has got to ditch that 50’s character. It’s unrealistic and remind me of mid 90’s WWF where everyone played a character. It’s just awful.
Her build/look is close to Charlotte. Those comparisons will be made. The character is to hide that. Ripley had the same issue and transformed herself in NXT. I’m curious how she can make the same transformation on the main roster
I get limiting her because she's not ready for the main roster at all. But ah yeah, they are doing a horrible job with what they're doing with that limited time. They could stand to tone down the Liberty Belle knock off gimmick just a little bit, too.

24/7 rule was so much dumb fun. An easy way to fill up a segment and throw some random insanity into the show as well
