10 Bold WWE Predictions For The Rest Of 2019
WWE in 2019 has been crazy already, but what's still to come for the company this year?
It seems like WWE gets stranger every year, and 2019 has proved that already.
Firefly Funhouse, Brock Lesnar's Money In The Bank victory, and whatever the hell the wildcard rule is are just some examples of the madness that Vince McMahon's twisted brain has come up with this year. All of this insanity has taken place over just six months, and with that much time again left before 2019 draws to a close, fans can only speculate as to what other crazy things might take place in WWE.
Not ones to ever feel left out, we've decided to join in on the fun and come up with ten predictions for WWE in 2019. Some are pretty rooted in existing rumours or are based on the current trajectory of storylines and characters, whilst others are just wild speculation. Then again, as we've already seen this year, anything can happen in the House of McMahon.
With another Saudi show pencilled for November, SmackDown moving to Fox in October, and the rise of AEW hopefully providing some much needed competition for the WWE, there's still plenty more madness to expect from the world's biggest wrestling promotion this year...
10. Another Regional NXT Announced
Ever since NXT relaunched in 2012 with Triple H at the helm, the black and yellow brand has been a constant obstacle in thousands of people cancelling their WWE Network subscriptions.
Then came the NXT UK brand, which officially launched in late 2018. The brand now has a full set of champions, a weekly TV show, and a TakeOver show already under its belt with another on the way soon. It also has WALTER, which is a good asset for any wrestling show.
Triple H has made it very clear that he wants the NXT brand to spread all over the world, like a virus but with more superkicks. His plan for "global localisation" seemingly includes NXT brands in other nations and we could see the next one of those start up this year.
Prime candidates are countries like Germany, where WWE has partnerships with companies like WxW, or India, where the company has an established fan base. Alternatively, Triple H recently announced plans for WWE to expand in Saudi Arabia, so maybe a third brand of NXT in the Kingdom could be the next step in their growing relationship with the country.
Whether it's fully established this year or merely announced, a new branch of the NX-Tree (I'm sorry) could be on its way in 2019.
