Vince to be involved creatively with NXT/NXT officially moves to the USA Network

They're going to "ECW" NXT for the sake of fucking with AEW. This also defeats the main (at least initial) reason for NXT which was to replace FCW and make their proving ground for green talent in house.

The only caveat for those disappointed in this is that it has the possibility to backfire horribly. The fan base for NXT is primarily those who are disinterested in the main brand product. If they take away the things that make NXT special, they aren't going to take fans away from AEW even if they get enough of their existing fans to make NXT a success. They could even tank the value of NXT entirely and drive more people to watch AEW just because there is another wrestling product on at the exact same time for those who already turned their TVs on to watch wrestling. Just a possibility.
