During today's live stream of WWE's The Bump, it was announced that the WWE Network will premiere a new documentary titled "Future of WWE: The Story of FCW" on Sunday 3/8 following the 2020 Elimination Chamber PPV..
FCW aka Florida Championship Wrestling was the final WWE developmental predeccesor before the NXT brand took on that distinction. Based in Tampa, Florida, FCW ran from From October 2007 until August 2012, operated by Steve Keirn with a weekly series on The Brighthouse Network in Florida. With Dusty Rhodes heavily involved, the idea was that FCW was continuing on the tradition of the former Eddie Graham territory in Florida with a number of WWE names starting out in the promotion, including Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and more.
FCW was shut down when WWE made the decision to move developmental to the Orlando area as part their relationship with Full Sail University.
