Over the last few days, several stories regarding the future of NXT have broken. These include the 13 names released from the brand on Friday night, rumors of sweeping changes to the look and format of the show, and news that Adam Cole could be headed to the main roster shortly.
According to comments from Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast, sources from within the USA Network are disappointed with the recent news.
“Personally I’m disappointed with how this is going,” is what a source from the USA Network reportedly said to Zarian.
According to reports from PW Insider and the Wrestling Observer, sweeping changes are expected to take place in NXT. These will include a returned emphasis on producing talent destined for the main roster. Reports are the company wants to focus on larger and younger talent that could “one-day main event WrestleMania.”
“The wording is ‘no more midgets, no one starting in their 30s, they want people who can be box office attractions and main characters’ so that’s what they are looking for now,” Meltzer said.
“This is the aftermath and this is the new direction. And the new direction is younger guys and bigger guys,” Meltzer continued.
“What happened happened and now they want to get it back to what it was.”
