Wrestling Inc. has learned that the company has also been discussing a Mexican Lucha Libre series, which would be an NXT Mexico of sorts. The show would reportedly air in the U.S. WWE has spoken with a few people about running the project, but it is very early on in the planning stages. One of the names being considered as a consultant on the project is Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chavo was an agent for Lucha Underground and was very involved with the promotion.
One source compared the project to the WCW Telemundo "Festival de Lucha" pilot that was taped in Waco, Texas on January 27, 1999 that never aired. The pilot was added to the "Hidden Gems" section of the WWE Network last year.
WWE has been looking to expand into international markets for awhile now. The company launched NXT UK in 2018, and has been considering creating NXT brands in several other countries as well.

NXT starting to head into the same direction and problem as regular WWE in terms of gradually becoming too bloated and saturated for weekly content.
Assuming all three new NXT shows are one hour long, just watching NXT branded stuff means at least 6 hours per week once all of them launch. WWE sans NXT right now is 6-7 hours weekly with RAW, SD, 205 Live, and Main Event.
