5 ways NXT could change when it moves to USA Network, and 5 things that will stay the same

Remain the same #1: An emphasis on in-ring action

Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole, EC3, Killian Dane, Lars Sullivan, and Ricochet eye the NXT North American title high over the ring during Takeover's wild ladder match.

NXT will be going head to head with All Elite Wrestling, a promotion which was founded upon the idea that most of the story telling in sports entertainment should be done in the ring.

While NXT may not adhere entirely to that model, make no mistake that the yellow brand will still be bringing a heavy emphasis on in-ring action to the USA network. This will likely be the case because they will be competing with All Elite Wrestling for the same fanbase.

It wouldn't make much sense for NXT to put on a drama heavy presentation with little in-ring action in the same time slot as AEW. That decreases the likelihood of fans making the switch, something that WWE is no doubt searching for.
