3. Taz Says NXT Stars Might Be A Part Of The WWE Brand Split
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, former ECW & WWF star Taz talked about the upcoming WWE brand split and if the NXT stars will be involved in the WWE Draft or not. Below is what he said about the WWE Brand Extension:
“It’s a layup to me. They’re doing a brand split, which I humbly say that I predicted three or four months ago on my show. I know how they book and I know what works. They’re actually a little late on the brand split, frankly, but the brand split works.
I think they’ll do NXT from 8pm-9pm on the USA Network, which is a perfect lead-in to Raw. Raw at three hours is too long–it’s tough for creative, tough for the announcers and a three-hour wrestling show is a lot for wrestling fans to watch. The NXT idea brings more awareness to another brand, and you still keep those five hours of weekly content. Then they can be part of the draft, too.”
