1) Big Internal Changes For NXT
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Bruce Prichard and Christine Lubrano will now be in charge of NXT. This will be consistent with how RAW and Smackdown currently operate.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Going forward, the NXT creative team will not be operating independently, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources. Before, under the Paul Levesque regime, the NXT Creative team had been autonomous in nature, operating as a separate bubble within the company. As part of the changes made last week that unraveled that era of NXT with WWE cutting the majority of the team Levesque had assembled over the years while building the NXT brand, that will no longer be the case, at least short term.
PWInsider.com has learned the NXT Creative team has been informed that for now, they will now fall under the purview of Bruce Prichard and Christine Lubrano, directly reporting and answering to them, consistent to how the Raw and Smackdown Creative Teams each operate. The days of NXT being a separate little pocket within WWE look to be over.
With the departures of others from the creative team, PWInsider.com has also confirmed that going forward, Johnny Russo will be heading the NXT writing team under Prichard and Lubrano’s supervision.
My Take:
- I would love to get Triple H’s true feelings about this. It feels like everything that he built for NXT is slowly slipping away. Sucks to see.
