NXT is the wrestling that I look forward to each week. It is just a solid hour of good wrestling, very few reminders of what happened the week before, or 10 minutes earlier and in all, I always enjoy my hour with NXT.

With the show going mainstream how do you think this will change it? I am not specifically talking about the roster here, but the whole format of the show. As of now, they do not have to take into account ad breaks or anything like that so will that cause the format of the show to have to change. Also now that they have potentially have an audience tuning in at random points of the show, does that mean we will get constant reminders of stuff that happened 10 minutes before? I have to be honest that drives me nuts on RAW and Smackdown!

Also, has it been said if NXT TV will tour or will it still be happening from Full Sail? It is crazy how quick they got this deal done, but there seems to be very little information about the kind of show NXT is going to be when it hits TV. I really hope they keep it the way it is, but I would be more surprised if that happened than if they changed it all up.

What changes do you think are in store for NXT and how soon do you think the WWE will start making these changes?

Currently it’s booked to be at Full Sail until at least December.

Depending on what USA’s ratings expectations are and what ratings the show actually achieves, it’ll likely go through quite a few changes over the coming months.

But right off the bat, apart from ad breaks and recaps, the big thing it’ll have is like any two hour wrestling show, three main event slots every week - the first segment, the top of the second hour, and then the show closer. So there’s pressure to deliver every week on TV, which will probably mean less saving stuff for Takeovers.

And NXT has very few stars, so I’m expecting a lot of special appearances from bigger names. HHH and HBK are obvious ones, given their roles in NXT. Reigns, Rollins, Bryan, Owens, Balor, Joe etc can all be counted as NXT alumni so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see those guys involved occasionally. I’d love to see Daniel Bryan wrestle Pete Dunne or Johnny Gargano in an NXT ring.

I was just thinking today... depending on how NXT's ratings are, I could see them moving the TakeOver before WM to another date. And then having a NXT match or two actually on WM. This would also help WWE with not having the HOF, TO, & WM 3 days in a row.

Just a thought.
