New Name Revealed for WWE’s SyFy Show on Tuesdays

[Konan]

WWE had trademarked “NXT” to use for the new Tuesday night show on the SyFy network. Sources have confirmed that ECW will now be called WWE NXT, with the NXT standing for Next Generation.

Apparently the show will be built around an entirely new cast of characters with the idea that WWE fans can see these characters develop and debut only on SyFy. Expect a lot of talents from WWE developmental to be called up. More details on the new WWE show should be made clear tonight.

I'm actually interested in this. ECW, as presently constituted, was a massive bore.

Well, the name is already copyrighted...What a shame :P

Do some research before you decide to bash WWE in every post SM, just saying.

I didn't?? :eek:

The name NXT is owned by a scottish wrestling promotion.

thanks for the update Konan

Owned, but not copyrighted. WWE copyrighted NXT yesterday. So, if WWE were to pursue it, the Scottish wrestling organization would now have to change it's name. Much like WWE/F did when the World Wildlife Fund sued the then WWF for copyright infringement.
