According to Fightful, WWE has been holding talks for the past year regarding the idea of NXT getting a second weekly TV show.

These talks went as far as reaching the planning stage prior to WWE's recent outbreak and its currently not known if WWE is still going ahead with these plans.

The show itself had a tentative name of "NXT Underground" and would feature unused talent and their recent EVOLVE signings.

Once pitched as "NXT Underground" well before "Raw Underground" happened, but it wasn't to be anything like the Raw Underground we see today, outside of having peers watch the show. The idea was floated around last year, but not everyone was on board with the idea, which was tabled. There was a pilot for the event shot at the WWE Performance Center in Summer 2019, which would have been the setting of the event. We're told it has long been a Ryan Katz project.

The latest we've heard is that some unused NXT talent and new EVOLVE signings were tentatively planned for the show. Again, we are unsure of how the recent COVID outbreak have affected this.
