WWE Meeting With Destination America?

By John Canton / August 5, 2015

Destination America has gone from being a relatively unknown television channel to the home of both TNA Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor TV. However, could a third company find their product on their network? According to WrestlingInc, there's a rumour that WWE has met with Destination America executives in an attempt for them to air their Main Event and Superstars programs. Both of those shows currently don't have a home in the United States. Since WWE tapes Superstars before Raw and Main Event before Smackdown, they are already producing the shows, so it makes sense for WWE to want them to be seen somewhere. Another rumour suggests that maybe WWE is floating the idea of airing NXT on Destination America, which would likely be more coveted by the Network. Shows like Superstars and Main Event just feature matches with midcard performers that most of the WWE Universe would never watch. Meanwhile, NXT is the hottest show in WWE that features the stars of tomorrow.

WWE may want to keep NXT on WWE Network because they need exclusive programming, in addition to PPV-like events, so it may be in their best interests to keep NXT right where it is. From Destination America's point of view, the WWE brand is much stronger than TNA or ROH at this point. There's a chance that if WWE did agree to a deal with DA then maybe they would want TNA and ROH off the network, so that could be a way for WWE to overpower the smaller companies. It's a very interesting rumour that could develop into something much bigger in the weeks and months ahead.
