While the writing team of NXT might be maintained due to their familiarity with the stars of the brand and with those that are primed to debut on TV, NXT's writing team will likely have to answer to McMahon and Kevin Dunn now. They'll have to present the product and scripts that fit into a two-hour time frame.
