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

Might Change #5: More gimmick matches

NXT Takeover: Wargames. Eric Young of Sanity drops his signature elbow onto Undisputed Era's Kyle O'Reilly, while Alexander Wolf is trapped in an armbar submission.

All Elite Wrestling has not shied away from blood and mayhem on their broadcasts. While WWE is unlikely to take the same tactic, due to its PG ratings, you might still see some changes in NXT product with regards to the different match types offered.

For the most part, NXT does not do gimmick matches overly much. Their reliance upon scientific, technical wrestling precludes a lot of hardcore style weaponry or steel cages.

However, that could be changing now that the yellow brand of NXT will be seen on Turner Network Television. Since they will be competing with the 'edgier' content offered by All Elite Wrestling, NXT might start using more gimmick matches to draw fan's attention to the WWE product.
