5 ways NXT could change when it moves to USA Network, and 5 things that will stay the same

Soon NXT will begin airing on the USA network, diametrically opposed to AEW on TNT

Could Change #2: Big contract signings

Could major international stars like Rainmaker Okada join NXT?

For the longest time, NXT has existed in a kind of bubble. While they were the WWE's developmental brand, there wasn't as much scrutiny from the WWE's corporate offices, particularly Vince McMahon. This meant that NXT had a lot of leeway with their contract signings. Men like Oney Lorcan, who doesn't have the prototypical build of a WWE superstar, were able to garner attention, title shots, and television time.

Now that there will be millions more eyes potentially watching every NXT broadcast on USA network, this freedom from scrutiny might change. The WWE could be interested in bringing major international superstars onto the NXT brand to bolster their roster, like Kazuchiko Okada.

This could also potentially open up the floodgates for WWE legends like Goldberg, who might be brought into NXT temporarily as a special attraction to boost ratings.
