In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, WWE President Nick Khan confirmed reports regarding the upcoming changes to the WWE NXT brand in the coming weeks.
“We are doing a complete revamp on NXT led by Triple H, who is really one of the architects of the original NXT. What we found, it’s part of why we did the tryout yesterday, we want to make sure it’s easy for folks who want to be WWE superstars to figure out how to become WWE superstars.
If you think of the life of an elevated athlete, throughout their career, the opportunity to go play somewhere has always been easy, being able to play somewhere is not, that’s what’s hard. If you’re an amazing high school football player, colleges come after you, you get recruited, you go into their system and either you make it or don’t make it, all that it takes to get there, very difficult, but the system, not difficult.
We want our system to be an easy system where people who want to be superstars know how to get to us and we can get to them. In terms of an NXT re-brand, look for it in the next couple of weeks. It’s going to have a whole new look, a whole new feel and we believe, because a lot of the indie wrestlers, if you will, have come through our system and are in our system with SmackDown and RAW, we don’t want to just keep doing that same thing, we want to look elsewhere for great young talent.”
