WWE officials are planning on bringing NXT’s TV show to the United States beginning this fall. The idea is to use the show as a way to introduce the developmental talents to WWE’s TV audience, similar to the last ECW TV program was done.
The plan is for NXT, which currently airs overseas, to remain one-hour on American TV. WWE officials are high on the idea of making another $100,000 per week without any extra costs because NXT is already being taped.

This doesnt really affect me as its on my TV because im in the UK but it would be awesome to let the US guys watch it on TV.

Moving to the Smackdown and NXT section.

Good move to get it on TV though. It is a great show and more Americans need to see it.

Hopefully this doesn't effect the way NXT is being booked. The developmental booking team is doing great with the NXT product.

God yes. I hope so, but wonder how well it will rate. After all Superstars was cancelled, WWECW was on it's way... how will the casuals respond to NXT?

Would prefer it if they bring it on the road. Must be odd for someone like Summer Rae to go from that little sound stage to being in front of full arenas.

Do you happen to know who books NXT? Is it the same writers as the TV shows, or are they completely different? I know HHH is the lead, but he doesn't do it all himself.

On the road costs more. Especially shipping out the NXT guys to whatever arena WWE is in that week to shoot it, then send them back to Florida. It is much cheaper to send whatever WWE guy is needed to NXT once a month.

Dusty Rhodes was main booker for FCW. I guess he still remains in some form of creative control in NXT but I don't know for sure. I also think that the black ring announcer (can't remember his name) who was on commentary also has some sort of role in it backstage.

This is great. It doesnt really matter for me, but more people watching the best product on the WWE atm will have some sort of impact on RAW and SD!

To clear my previous statement. The NXT booking team is completely different to the TV show one. Dusty Rhodes is involved but I don't know if he is the head writer anymore, pretty sure he is but I cannot guarantee it.

Well that's true. Was thinking it would get them more prepared, but they seem to be bringing people up so slowly anyway (like Big E being a bodyguard to get accustomed to life on the road) so it doesn't really matter
