It's Official: NXT Has A New Home In USA Network.

Well, the rumours are indeed true. The black and gold brand is going to air the best professional wrestling show in my opinion September 18th on the USA Network with a new timeslot of 2 hours. Here's a statement from WWE about the end goal for NXT on USA: 

“The move to USA Network provides an opportunity to deepen our relationship with NBCUniversal and further build the NXT brand,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO. “Over the long term, our goal is to develop a following that can be monetized to the same level as our flagship programs, Raw and SmackDown.”

What do I think of this? it is certainly big news but I'm hoping that Vince doesn't put his dirty, greasy hands-on NXT because part of NXT's charm is that it's different than the main roster shows in RAW and Smackdown. I'm also curious as to how they execute a 2-hour NXT show. 

NEWS Update!! : Turns out I spoke way too soon about Vince McMahon getting involved himself creatively in NXT because pro wrestling sheet and Ryan Satin reports that the fear of the upcoming changes in the yellow brand is "unwarranted" and the show will remain the same under Triple H. The move was made to get more eyes on the product.
