As we all know, WWE has recently been in talks with Fox to put NXT on FS1, NXT being on TV would be huge in many ways, includeing but not limited to it goign head to head with AEW on Wednesdays.

But thats not what i wanna talk about or point out, not yet atleast, right now i wanna talk about something quite terrifying for those who watch NXT and love it. Dave Meltzer and others have speculated that, in theory, if NXT does get on TV, that means Vince will want to take control of it, seeing as it will be on TV. And if that did happen, it could be horrible news for the NXT brand.

Now again, this is speculation, but its realistic and very possible, Vince taking over NXT might kill everything fans have come to love about the brand, the lack of scripted promos, the great matches the commentary, basicly everything, they may even drop the small arenas aswell.

Or maybe it wont, maybe vince will like NXT enough and perhaps adapt some of that to the main brands, thats another possibility, but admittedly not very likely.

In truth we dont know what Vince will do, will he decide that NXT being on TV means he should control it? will he trust Triple H enough to let him handle it? obviously time will tell, but i wanted to see what you all thought about the possibility of Vince taking over NXT as people have started to suggest, the logic is there, it is possible, the question is, what would happen to NXT if that did happen?

If Vince takes control of NXT...the brand will simply sink to the same level
of storytelling & continuity as the main roster & will be more about minute
to minute moments rather than long term storytelling & TakeOver pay offs.

I know I'm currently not enjoying NXT at this time...BUT...I do not want the
brand to fail...& with Vince in control...NXT would just devolve into a complete
mess.

The second that happens NXT would become equally fucked up and boring as Raw. Vince is not capable of managing and bringing in talent, and even less of making a good show. I hope this never happens because NXT and NXT UK are most interesting shows of WWE. By far.

If NXT is up against AEW on FS1. He's going to play a bigger role..

He's not going to want AEW to come close to any show in the ratings.

I don't watch NXT/WWE anymore, so this doesn't bother me.. but I can only imagine what NXT fans must feel if Vince takes control.. Enjoy it while you can.

You might be right but it seems unlikely that Vince will play a bigger role than Hunter. He has trust for him and wouldn’t wanna change him since the ratings of NXT are up because of his work.

Vince shouldn't be allowed to even drop a load in the bathroom at Full Sail, more less have any say in how the show goes
