COULD WWE NXT LEAVE THE WWE NETWORK? TRIPLE H COMMENTS

By Mike Johnson on 2018-06-04 14:53:00

As noted earlier today on PWInsider.com, I interviewed WWE's Paul "Triple H" Levesque about a number of topics, including the launch of the company's WWEPerformanceCenter.com website.

During the interview, I asked whether there was a possibility that, as new WWE solidifies their new TV deals in advance of October 2019, WWE NXT could leave the WWE Network and end up on a new television home.

Levesque commented, "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?"  

Since morphing from its original reality series incarnation into a series that showcased the WWE developmental system, NXT had been showcased on Hulu.  NXT has been on the WWE Network since the Network launched in February 2014.  Last December, the USA Network aired an episode as part of WWE week, drawing an overnight audience in the 800,000 range.
