While Lee Fitting is responsible for the WWE main roster’s production and presentation on television, Fitting does not carry that role over to WWE’s developmental brand, NXT, despite Kevin Dunn previously filling this role during his tenure in the company.
Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan now reports that the man that has filled that gap since Dunn left WWE is Vice President of Line Producing, Brian Fadem. WWE production sources tell Brennan that Fadem would previously fill in for Kevin Dunn if Dunn were absent from a WWE event, and took over the lead producer role in NXT upon Dunn’s exit.
Production sources also tell Fightful that Fadem ‘hit the ground running’ in his new role, with one source noting that “it was like he picked up someone else's tools, cleaned them off and used them like they were new again.”
From a talent perspective, those that we spoke to noted that Fadem is much more open to suggestions from talent on camera shots and other factors of production, with the ruling opinion that Dunn was restricting the creativity of NXT’s production being prevalent within the brand.
However, according to production sources, while Fadem is established, there are other names within NXT who are learning the lead producer role. During the April 30th edition of NXT, Fadem did not lead produce the show, as another name was learning how to play the role of lead producer in NXT.

I fuck with Nikki Cross. If I'm not mistaken she was supposed to be the original Sister Abigail so I'm glad they are still locked in. Lumis being part of if is fitting too.
Just glad Alexa Bliss wack shit not involved.
Alexa wasn’t made to work with bray
Loved Cross since she was in the old NXT
And her NXT theme was

I could cry right now thinking of when they removed this theme from her. I'd be hype as fuck when she would come out in NXT Black and Gold.
Would be nice for them to give Nikki Cross something to do, otherwise she would be on the next batch of releases.
Not sure if this Wyatt Six thing or whatever it is going to be called will make an impact though. It has failure written all over it unless they put someone in there people care about...

From what I’m getting from the IWC, most don’t seem to care to see this group. I don’t either but it’s all under new minds and management so I at least want to give it a few weeks after they debut. So many factions though..
With this regime, I’ll give new things a chance
The old regime?? Smh how many times they fucked up a faction that didn’t even get a great start
See: retribution
The new regime still fucking over Lashley and the Profits
I forgot all about Dexter lumis.
His shit with Miz had me dying. The facial expressions....that nig under the ring n just his head poking out (Pause)
It was cool til they started dragging it way longer than it needed
That angle got both of them over pretty well. It definitely made me an Indi fan. I'm just glad to see Lumis make it this far in his career after debuting in TNA doing the gut check challenge.
