Predicting WWE’s next brand from the least to most likely 

#1. NXT Germany

Would Walter stay with NXT UK or jump to the German brand?

WWE recently held their first ever tryout in Germany where over 40 men and women attended. The large attendance left many to believe that WWE is planning on expanding into mainland Europe.

The German wrestling scene has been on fire for years; The WXW promotion has attracted hot crowds and worldwide attention for their major shows. The appeal is there, as is the talent.

If NXT Germany were to launch, there’s the fear that the German brand would take away from NXT UK, especially considering the UK brands biggest acquisition was the big Austrian, Walter (who made his name in Germany). Is there enough talent in Europe for WWE to fill two brands?

The launch of NXT Germany could be to combat the effects of Brexit. EU competitors may find it harder to compete in the UK whenever Brexit occurs. If NXT Germany were to open, WWE would have an alternative home for Walter, Killer Kelly and other EU nationals.

The best option would be a talent trade agreement between NXT UK and Germany. A ‘European Union’ of sorts, but one where all parties work together...hopefully.
