Backstage Update - The Future Of WWE NXT

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

World Wrestling Entertainment is expected to rush through the current season of WWE NXT with the final episode airing on October 1 just before the premiere of Friday Night SmackDown! on Syfy. The third season of NXT will feature five episodes in total.

While company officials adore NXT and have vowed it will continue, they have been unable to land a new home for the show. With that being said, there was a discussion this past week of moving the show to WGN America. Vince McMahon said that ideally, they would keep both NXT and WWE Superstars.
