More Details On Vince McMahon's WWE NXT "Takeover"
What Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard's NXT takeover really means for the brand.
The winds of change are currently blowing through NXT, as WWE reconfigures everything from the brand's aesthetics to its wider approach to talent development in a full-scale reboot of its Tuesday night show.
Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard assuming bigger production roles on the show is a major part of this. As reported earlier this week, the duo are set to become more hands-on, particularly at the top of the card, with Prichard due to visit the Performance Center this weekend.
WrestleVotes have come through with new details on the situation since then. Per this latest report, NXT's day-to-day operations won't experience major changes, with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom, William Regal, and more still playing key roles, though the weekly shows will definitely have Vince's stamp on them.
Dave Meltzer added on Thursday's episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that McMahon and Prichard will be more responsible for NXT's branding, "big picture" direction, and marketing more than anything else.
There is currently no word on when, exactly, NXT's big reboot will be reflected on television. 14 September may be the starting point, as this is when the brand returns to live broadcasts following a three-show run of pretaped affairs.
