Vince McMahon Will Be In Charge Of Revamped WWE NXT Brand

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will now be in charge of the WWE NXT brand alongside Senior Vice President & Executive Director Bruce Prichard from now onward. This may appear as nightmare news for the hardcore NXT base as Triple H will no more be overseeing the happenings over on the Tuesday night brand. The change appears to be a direct change for losing the Wednesday Night War to AEW Dynamite.

Previous reports already claimed that WWE NXT will return to airing live weekly shows on the USA Network beginning with the September 14 episode. This episode will feature the wedding of Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell which will also mark a reset for the brand, with a new logo, new theme song, and a new look for the weekly show.

Now we know, a new creative direction will also be reserved for the third brand of WWE. It was noted by Bryan Alvarez on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Live that McMahon and Prichard will be producing the weekly WWE NXT TV show when the brand’s shows return to live format, later this month.

Furthermore, Dave Meltzer added in that report stating McMahon and Prichard will be behind the big decisions on Tuesday nights but not the smaller ones. They will also be responsible for the marketing, promotion, and direction of the WWE NXT brand. Regarding the creative perspective, it was noted that McMahon and Prichard might only book the top talents of the brand.

Word is already out that NXT will be like “the old NXT” just like it used to be in 2015-18. This is the timespan when the brand was considered to be at its peak. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast added that McMahon has always been hands-on with the WWE NXT brand, anyways. Hence, he will continue with that role, moving forward.

No confirmation is available on how things will change for Triple H and his team, which includes WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels and “Road Dogg” Brian James but they won’t be able to take the biggest decisions, anymore.

WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan recently confirmed that a complete brush-up for WWE NXT brand is expected and it’s already been teased on social media. Rapper Wale recently revealed a bright new color-changing logo for the NXT brand alongside a preview of the hip hop theme song booked for the show.
