For now, three major elements of the show are changing. The weekly show expands from one hour to two hours. That doesn't necessarily mean double the content, however, as what was an hour-long show with only a handful of WWE-centric ads will now feature full commercial breaks on USA. Second, the show will now be filmed live, rather than recorded as ...
It's plainly obvious that putting NXT up against AEW's new show is done with purpose. This was no coincidence. WWE is very aware of what AEW is doing, which was made clear during the latest shareholders call when Vince McMahon denigrated the "blood and guts" in AEW's product. NXT versus AEW is an obvious head-to-head matchup. Both products are buil...

In short, yes. WWE has brought in a considerable volume of talent over the last five years, with more than 100 wrestlerstraining at the WWE Performance Center as of December 2018. The NXT roster on WWE.com currently lists almost 60 performers, and that doesn't include numerous talents who have yet to debut with the brand. WWE has also shown a willi...

For NXT's top stars, it'll likely be negligible. They're already used to performing live on NXT TakeOver specials, and that experience will be a big help in the transition and allow them to absorb some of that pressure. The real test will be for NXT's up-and-coming talent, who had the benefit of pre-tapes and editing to brush over their slip-ups. W...
In the short-term, yes. The production setup at Full Sail University is a well-oiled machine at this point, and keeping the show in one location will keep costs way down. It will be a familiar environment for talent, making the transition to the USA Network feel a little less severe. In the long-term, it remains to be seen. Over the last few years,...
It's tough to say how big of an impact it'll have, but taking the most successful weekly show and debuting it on broadcast TV every week will almost certainly have an effect. Keeping the broadcast (albeit on delay) on the Network for international viewers will definitely soften the blow, but NXT is one of the main reasons fans subscribe to the netw...
