In one of the most shocking reports this week, PWInsider reported that NXT moving for a two-hour show on USA Network is in progress. Earlier, it was widely reported that FOX was interested in bringing NXT on FS1, but USA seems to have swooped in the last minute for the TV deal.

It remains to be seen whether NXT goes live or is aired on tape delay. WWE has signed several wrestlers recently, and a special eight-man Breakout Tournament was arranged for showcasing the new signings on NXT. This could be an indication of a bigger role for NXT in WWE, rather than being the developmental brand.
