WWE is no longer showing the program "Superstars" online. WWE had been showing both Superstars and NXT on WWE.com and the official WWE YouTube channel.
They are going to continue to tape matches for the program Superstars because it appears it will continue to air internationally and resume its normal schedule of showing in certain countries outside of the United States.
From what I have learned, while the views domestically online were low, both Superstars and NXT make millions courtesy of their international markets which is a key reason in why both programs continue to be in existence.

NXT can still be found on WWE.com and the WWE YouTube channel.
Nothing is confirmed but with the WWE Channel launching next year it has been speculated that NXT and Superstars will be featured on the channel.

What the hell? Why take it away? It doesn't make any sense.

Thats a weird reason. I mean I dont think they lose money showing it online. Oh well, I hardly ever watch the shows, so no biggie.

That's stupid. They would lose no money by uploading it to youtube.

It better be shown in Canada. I only watched it once here on TV, and it was on a sunday in 2009. -_-

It honestly makes no sense to pull it from wwe.com because it can't possibly cost them anything to just throw it up on the site.
I never used to watch the show, but I have been enjoying for the past few months because you get to see a lot of the guys you otherwise would only see at house shows.
I guess the one saving grace is that WWE Network will probably feature a Superstars-esque program whenever it debuts.

Even if this report is true, just wait for someone that gets it on TV to put it on YouTube. It's bound to happen.

I think WWE isn't smart with the decision to pull the plug on Superstars for the United States right now. Maybe they're negotiating a TV deal, but if they are negotiating a TV deal they will have to put a bigger level of WWE superstars on the show. A main event of Zack Ryder vs. Tyson Kidd doesn't appeal to a lot of people, but Cody Rhodes vs. Daniel Bryan would draw some more people. Superstars could have special main events for Championships every once in a while too if they had the chance too.

It'd make zero sense for them not to make a free show available online anymore. This seems awfully convenient too, just because they did put up yesterday's Superstars. I'm not saying it might not be true (as ridiculous as it is), but to wait the day after something like this happened for them to 'report' it...

The few times that I watched it, I watched it on Youtube, uploaded by someone from the UK, so this really doesn't matter to me at all if it's true.

I found this: – The online version of WWE Superstars has been cancelled. The show had been airing on WWE.com and Youtube.com as well as overseas. There continued to be a declining number of viewers so the company decided to cancel it for now. The series will still air internationally. It is also possible the show will return on the WWE Network once that debuts. www.tpww.net/2011/09/wwe-superstars-cancelled-online-details/So, Yeah its probably true cause there have been a few reports |

Not surprised. Who would want to watch guys like Drew McIntyre, JTG, Tyson Kidd, Brodus Clay, Yoshi Tatsu, Trent Barreta, Heath Slater, and other low-carders? Not to mention guys like John Cena, The Miz, Randy Orton, Triple H, Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio, and other big names never compete on the show at all.

That's a funny coincidence - I attempted to watch Superstars on WWE.com for the first time today, and wouldn't you know it, this happens.
