1) New WWE Brand Coming?
According to Wrestling INC, WWE is discussing an ‘NXT Mexico’ brand. This would be a brand that focuses on Lucha Libre. Chavo Guerrero Jr. is said to be attached to the project.
Here is what the site wrote:
Wrestling Inc. has learned that the company has also been discussing a Mexican Lucha Libre series, which would be an NXT Mexico of sorts. The show would reportedly air in the U.S. WWE has spoken with a few people about running the project, but it is very early on in the planning stages. One of the names being considered as a consultant on the project is Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chavo was an agent for Lucha Underground and was very involved with the promotion.
One source compared the project to the WCW Telemundo “Festival de Lucha” pilot that was taped in Waco, Texas on January 27, 1999 that never aired. The pilot was added to the “Hidden Gems” section of the WWE Network last year.
My Take:
- I feel like WWE needs to focus on improving RAW before they add any new brands. Still, this will be an interesting project to keep our eyes on over the next few months.
