Could More WWE Programming, Including NXT, Be Coming To FOX?

So you’re saying there could be more? In case you somehow haven’t heard, one of WWE’s television homes is changing next year as SmackDown Live is moving to the FOX Network. This is a big change of pace for WWE as they’re moving to a major network instead of staying on cable. That’s just one of their many television shows though, meaning there are several others that could be going somewhere. As luck would have it, WWE mentioned this and gave a few details.

Make sure to check out the full details of SmackDown’s move to FOX.

According to Prowrestlingsheet.com, during an investor call on Wednesday, WWE co-presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson were asked about other WWE programming coming to FOX. Their answer was that there have been discussions about more WWE shows coming to both the main FOX Network and Fox Sports 1, though no more specifics, including which shows or dates were announced. The report goes on to say that NXT has been rumored to come to FOX Sports 1, but neither Barrios nor Wilson mentioned this in the call.

Maybe these things could persuade FOX to take NXT?

Opinion: The lack of details on this makes me think there might not be much to it at the moment. I’m sure that WWE would be interested in getting as much of its content as possible on the FOX networks, but other than NXT, it would surprise me to see any of its other programming moving there. While I could easily see WWE creating new shows for FOX, I’d be surprised if anything other than NXT actually made a jump over to either of the FOX stations.

Do you think anything else will be coming to FOX? Should NXT make the move? Let us know in the comments below.
