Backstage Details On The Upcoming NXT Revamp – We noted yesterday that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard will be producing the NXT brand. The idea is to give the brand a complete revamp starting on the September 14th episode where the episode will be live and will include the wedding of Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell.
In an update, the Wrestling Observer reports that McMahon and Prichard will not be executive producers and will only handle the big picture aspects of NXT. The situation is a fluid one with many in NXT not knowing the full situation, so things can always change. However, Meltzer did note that this does mean a loss of power for Triple H.
@Wrestlevotes also reports that their sources say the day-to-day operation of NXT won’t be changing drastically, and that it’s still very much in the hands of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, William Regal, Matt Bloom and others.
It was also noted that the look of the weekly NXT TV produce will have a “Vince & Co.” stamp on it.
The news of McMahon and Prichard producing the weekly NXT show led to “#RIPNXT” trending worldwide on Twitter over the last 24 hours.
The new logo was the idea of Kevin Dunn or someone from that department. In regards to possible changes for the NXT roster, there is a chopping block involving names that have been in NXT for a long time. It was reported last month that NXT would focus more on younger and taller wrestlers with a focus more on developmental.
