That Would Explain Some Things: NXT TV Deal Not As Lucrative For WWE As Expected?

That could be a problem. WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world and that means they are going to have their hands in a lot of things. That can make things both good and bad at the same time, but with so many different parts to the WWE structure, some things are going to be more successful than others. It’s possible that one of their shows may be doing a lot worse than expected.

Over the course of the last year, one of the biggest stories in WWE has been SmackDown moving to FOX. It was the biggest moment the show could have and pretty easily the most important thing that has ever happened to a WWE television show. It meant a new level of prominence, but it wasn’t the only promotion WWE received. NXT moved to the USA Network, but things might not be going so well.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE may not be bringing in much profit from NXT moving to USA. During Thursday’s conference call, WWE did not bring up the money brought in from the move but rather mentioned the extra expenses associated with adding in the extra expenses from adding a second hour to the show. Revenue from NXT was not mentioned during the call.

NXT was a big deal this week, as usual. Check out some of the bigger moments:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing where it’s hard to know what is really going on, but the fact that WWE did not mention anything is not the best sign. I’m not sure how much money WWE is keeping off of each show but if it isn’t even enough worth mentioning, it doesn’t seem like it is all that much. Maybe that can increase, but right not I’m not sure how much value the company is getting from a financial standpoint.
