NXT Moving To FOX?

There is no doubt, especially after last night’s exceptional NXT Takeover: New York event, that the black and gold brand produces some of the most entertaining content and best matches out of all WWE’s shows.

Following last night’s show, Triple H took part in a media call and confirmed that one major sports channel clearly agrees, and wants to bring NXT to its network:

“The opportunities are there for a lot of things. I know there’s a lot of interest in NXT as a brand. Both (NXT and NXT UK). There’s a lot of interest in it but it’s a very valuable commodity to the (WWE) Network as well. It’s the number one and number two most watched thing on the Network by far. Outside of pay-per-views. Is (going to FOX/FS1) an opportunity? Absolutely. You see that with today when I was on FS1 and we announced the (studio show). It’ll be a recap show where they analyze different shows: Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. They’ll discuss all those shows. A cross between UFC Tonight and Talking Dead. They really want NXT to be a big piece of that, which shows you the interest level.”

With Smackdown Live moving to FOX in October, and Triple H announcing that WWE will begin airing a studio show on Tuesday nights on FS1, perhaps we could be seeing NXT move over to FOX too and really become WWE’s third brand as opposed to their developmental territory.
