WWE: The NXT changes are believed to be due to Triple H being blamed for NXT losing to AEW.

They were supposedly considering going back to a mostly taped schedule (one taping day a month with a live show and then the rest being recorded for later use) but USA caught wind of it, got pissed and said "we're not paying for a taped show."

Responses:

Well Vince hates losing. And NXT lost to AEW. which is utterly silly...but that's the way it is. -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 20:06
The meme about WWE punching itself in the face is so accurate. USA has to be pissed. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 15:59 20
- This latest move is so odd because if NXT gets canceled, it cannot go back to the WWE Network. That's Peacock. - David Aug 17, 16:03 19
  - it can go back to the network. Network is worldwide, just not in North America -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 20:04
  - Well, the only people they hired worth anything, he changed when they got to Raw. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 16:13 17
    - FWIW, I think she is an AWESOME person. I just find her matches boring. I kind of love her as a human being. -- nm - David Aug 17, 16:43 8
      - Baszler was the perfect person to learn and use the slow, plodding HHH style. -- nm - Qale Aug 17, 17:12 7
        
        Which is what I read what Vince hates about the wrestlers coming out of NXT - eag Aug 17, 17:22 4
        
        Talent? Ability? Wrestling experience? -- nm - David Aug 17, 17:24 3
        
        In all seriousness its probably the Promos - eag Aug 17, 17:39 2
        
        Samoa Joe absolutely humiliated Brock Lesnar in a promo, and he got fired. -- nm - David Aug 17, 17:43 1
        
        Joe cant stay healthy - eag Aug 17, 17:50
        
        Even so, that 1970s/1980s style of wrestling doesn't do much for me. I'm much more in the Rey Fenix vein now. -- nm - David Aug 17, 17:19
        
        A grind it out MMA fighter…yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 17:14
    - Vince legitimately doesn't understand how most of these NXT guys are any good because they're not big. -- nm - Tim Aug 17, 16:14 7
      - Meanwhile, AEW has turned a guy Znufrii’s size into a star in Darby Allin. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 16:17 6
        
        I dunno if you know this, but the ratings people can actually demonstrate a Darby Curve. He's a legit draw when he's onscreen. - David Aug 17, 16:45
        
        god, just a couple years ago he and Roman had an incredible 5 minutes at Survivor Series. I have no idea how Vince didn't see dollar signs everywhere. -- nm - Tim Aug 17, 16:23 4
        
        And they had freakin' *WALTER* go out in like 15 seconds. -- nm - David Aug 17, 16:45 3
        
        I'm pretty sure it's the only time he's jobbed in his WWE career. - Tim Aug 17, 16:50 2
        
        Saturday. Show is on Saturday -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 20:05
        
        He should never lose Sunday's match in normal circumstances, but he's near Hogan territory with this title reign. -- nm - David Aug 17, 16:55
Their relationships with Fox and NBCUniversal seem to be fracturing in front of us. -- nm - David Aug 17, 15:40 3
- The details of the Fox deal must be fascinating. - Tim Aug 17, 15:45 2
  - Right, I remember our speculating at the time that Fox wouldn't be happy with anything under 3.5 million. They're getting 60% of that at best. -- nm - David Aug 17, 16:01 1
    - That atrocious Tim Allen show was averaging 5 million! -- nm - Tim Aug 17, 16:06
