WWE COO Triple H recently did an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider to talk about several professional wrestling topics. One such topic was the future of NXT and whether or not fans could expect to see it air on a major network such as FOX or USA, in turn leaving the WWE Network.
After SmackDown Live landed a billion dollar TV deal with FOX, there has been speculation WWE could shop NXT’s broadcasting rights. The Game admitted that he doesn’t know if that’s in the future for the WWE’s developmental program, but wouldn’t rule the possibility out:
“As far as where NXT ends up, as that brand continues to grow, never say never, I guess. For the value of the Network, NXT is a valuable part of the WWE Network. Where it ends up, I don’t know.
“Obviously, that’s a decision that Vince [McMahon] will make and the team here will make strategically as to where everything sits, just as we do everything else in our ecosystem as far as where we put content. It’s a constantly challenging question for us. Good problem to have, right?”
