Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Scrapped Plans For Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens was recently interviewed by Metro in the UK. During this, he revealed that there were some scrapped plans for him to appear on NXT UK last year.
Here is what Owens said:
“They’re all extremely talented guys, and I would love to compete with any of those guys. I kinda got to do a bit with Imperium last year, so that was cool,” Owens said in an interview with Metro.co.uk.
“At one point there was a plan for me to go back to NXT at some point last year, which didn’t happen, obviously. But we had even discussed, maybe if that happens, then maybe I could show up on NXT UK and work with all these different people. I’d love to get to do that.”
My Take:
- I feel like WWE could do a better job of using their main roster talent on different brands. What would it hurt to have someone like Sami Zayn show up on NXT UK and defend the Intercontinental Championship against one of the Superstars? It will only help raise awareness to the brand and will also help showcase the talent.
4) Triple H Creating New NXT Show
According to a report from Wrestling INC, Triple H is putting together a new NXT show. This is said to be a minor league system for the NXT brand.
Here is what the site wrote:
Paul “Triple H” Levesque has created a team to oversee a new NXT show, which apparently would be an NXT minor leagues system.
Gabe Sapolsky is leading the team. Levesque has given him several agents and writers to help him get more comfortable with writing television. Levesque is a big believer in Sapolsky, and this is said to be a case of Levesque giving him the ball.
The idea is to create a show that was described to me as an “NXT for NXT”.
My Take:
- This seems smart since there aren’t any live events going on right now. This gets the developmental talent some reps, without it having to be on a regular NXT episode.
