Former WCW President Eric Bischoff recently took to his podcast, “83 Weeks,” and offered his thoughts on the current state of WWE NXT. NXT has grown in popularity over the years. Initially created as simply a developmental brand for the Superstars of tomorrow, NXT has practically risen to become a third brand.
NXT has produced stars such as Set Rollins, Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, and so many more. Currently, NXT only airs for one hour a week on the WWE Network. With how much popularity it has gained WWE would do well to make the show longer. Bischoff is certainly a supporter of the idea:
“I think if they’ve got a deep enough roster, and if there’s enough people there that need that exposure and two hours can accommodate that, then bam! Do it! Why would you even wait?
“But if the roster’s thin and you find yourself really tapping into that same roster of talent on a weekly basis, you may run the risk of overexposing at least some of them.”
NXT is arguably the most entertaining brand WWE has to offer at the moment. Professional wrestling fans would certainly enjoy the idea of an extra hour of NXT a week.
