WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon to give up creative control, Iconic veteran refuses company's offer and joins AEW instead - 21 August 2019

#2 NXT moves to USA Network

There had been a lot of speculation that WWE will announce NXT's move to USA Network on this edition of RAW; however, no such thing happened. Instead, WWE broke this major news via Twitter and announced that the yellow brand will move from WWE Network to the USA Network and join other WWE programming such as RAW and Miz and Mrs on the network.

Here is what WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon had to say:

“The move to USA Network provides an opportunity to deepen our relationship with NBCUniversal and further build the NXT brand. 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.'”

Not only has NXT found a new home, but it will also become a 2-hour long show now. However, the move to USA Network does not mean that it won't be part of the WWE Network anymore. The show will continue to air on NXT with a one-day delay and be available on the network on Thursdays.
