sting never was on SD....somebody else should take his place
 
NXT going to USA is the worst thing that can happen to it. Vince about to fuck that shit up

Chill nigga u dont know this for a fact

Nobody does

Why would Vince step back from RAW his baby and Smackdown just to have dealings w/ NXT? Also this is probably the main reason HHH didnt get one of those spots Bischoff/Heyman got. Cause why would they put him in one of those roles whenever NXT is going to be on USA?

Because it's not guaranteed ratings will prosper, if they dip, Vince will panic and try to change all kinds of things about it to try to "save" it

I dont think he care about NXT at all. Thats why hes putting it up against AEW kind of like how he put that Evolve show on the network up against Fight for the fallen. He did it because it wasnt his main product and should it bomb he doesnt have to take the fall for it and neither does SD or RAW.
 
Well Vince is about to fuck up a good thing in NXT. The good thing now is that I don't have to subscribe to the network(a bad thing for WWE) to watch NXT weekly.

Hopefully Vince will step down from overseeing creative operations in WWE once the XFL starts next year. Keep HHH in charge of NXT.
 
Vince McMahon is likely not going to be any of the NXT shows moving forward whereas Triple H will likely have to skip some Smackdown Live shows in order to be able to be there for the upcoming live NXT events. Neither will realistically be able to attend all three of Raw, Smackdown and NXT.


— As for Vince’s thoughts on NXT, it was also noted that he wanted to get the jump on AEW getting on TV which is why WWE is going live with NXT in less than a month and that if viewership falls below expectations, McMahon wouldn’t hesitate to have top WWE stars like Roman Reigns on the Wednesday show regularly.


Yes to the first part

nah to the second part

Reigns is a RAW superstar & he gets enough tv time.. I don't wanna see anybody thats getting main event/ upper midcard pushes on NXT.
 
Vince can’t do everything. Raw, Smackdown, XFL and nxt? Ain’t happening. XFL gonna take up most of his time but he does have a good team. He can check in from time to time but please don’t make so many decisions in creative
