3) NXT Moving To Tuesday Night?
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), WWE has discussed moving NXT to Tuesday nights. It was noted that a few months ago, the USA Network had “thrown out the idea of NXT moving to Tuesday nights”.
The recent Tuesday episode of NXT drew 849,000 viewers on the WWE Network. This was up 3% from last week’s episode that drew 824,000 viewers on Wednesday.
My Take:
- I feel like I can’t see WWE throwing in the towel against AEW. At least not yet. We will have to wait and see though.
2) When Brock Lesnar’s Contract Expired
One of the biggest stories of the week in WWE has been the news that Brock Lesnar is a free agent. It turns out that this is something that happened a while ago.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar’s contract with WWE expired back in April:
“So Brock’s contract actually expired months ago in April, but nobody knew it because it wasn’t really an issue. This isn’t the first time. He does that all the time. The contract will expire at WrestleMania, and most years people don’t know about it.”
My Take:
- This goes along with the rumors that Brock and WWE will come to a deal when they both want to. I am sure that he isn’t actively looking to go to a new promotion or anything like that.
