With NXT set to debut on the USA Network Wednesday, September 18th, at least some of the performers on the show are reportedly expected to receive more lucrative contracts. The issue was addressed recently in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

“The belief is that at least the top tier NXT talent will have new contracts at closer to main roster figures than current developmental figures,” wrote Dave Meltzer.

The report would continue to say that new talent signed to NXT usually earn between $40-$60K annually but that is likely to change.

“While not confirmed, the word going around is that all developmental deals are going to be changed to main roster deals shortly,” Meltzer continued. He would then continue to say the current plan is for Triple H to remain in charge of NXT without involvement from either Vince McMahon or Kevin Dunn.

Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and Beth Phoenix are expected to remain as the NXT commentary team. Ranallo Tweeted out the following in regards to the news that the show is headed to the USA Network.
