#2. Hope isn't true: WWE makes another big change to NXT

The changes that WWE is making to NXT 2.0 continue. The first was the complete rebranding into NXT 2.0 and a change in theme, appearance, and general direction.

While Triple H's era of NXT has been praised for its quality of wrestling, NXT 2.0 represents Vince McMahon's vision of sports entertainment. Rather than building future professional wrestlers, he wants to focus on creating homegrown stars.

By now, most of Triple H's team has been dismantled, and the recent releases of Road Dogg and William Regal represents that change. Furthermore, the creative direction of NXT will now be under Bruce Prichard and Christine Lubrano. Sportskeeda's Mohammad Haroon wrote:

"The reset [to NXT] came soon after its Wednesday night ratings war with AEW Dynamite. According to PWinsider, internal changes are still ongoing as the creative team has been informed that they will answer directly to Bruce Prichard and Christine Lubrano."

We hope this isn't true, and we aren't taking a dig at Bruce Prichard by saying it. The fact that Triple H's team has been dismantled in such a way seems to present a bleak future for NXT.
