Could USA be NXT soon enough?

The Rumour:

WWE's developmental territory might just get a new audience very soon because PWInsider reported the USA Network website is listing that NXT will air on Wednesday, December 13th at 7 pm. WWE is actually scheduled to "take over" the USA Network that week so it might be a one-off deal. But then again, it could also always be an error on USA Networks' part although it might seem unlikely due to the fact that they haven't aired NXT before therefore it would take a pretty big slip up to do this kind of thing by accident.

The Potential:

If NXT were to get some major network airtime it could turn into the three-branded WWE that Vince McMahon has been dreaming about since he first thought about making WCW their own brand. Of course, a bad Buff Bagwell/Booker T match on Raw put a nix to those plans so WWE gave ECW a shot. But since ECW's cancellation in February 2010, this idea hasn't really been revisited.

The Fallout:

Although it might be great to have NXT on a bigger platform it would take a very special offering away from the WWE Network because their weekly NXT shows are a selling point to some of the more die-hard fans who can't wait to see what the guys and girls at the WWE Performance Center will be up to next.
