It will end up being a big couple weeks for WWE’s youngest televised brand. NXT wrapped up it’s run on the USA Network with a final show last week. On Tuesday, October 1st, NXT opens up on the road on the CW Network-it’s new home for the foreseeable future. But before that new beginning, the black and gold brand almost had a rather abrupt ending to the USA era of the show.
Almost pulled
As the farewell edition of NXT on USA was in its last few minutes, things were getting a bit tight. It was a big moment, for sure. NXT Champion Roxanne Perez was in the ring, face to face with hot new challenger Giulia. The pair will battle for the belt on the CW premiere episode this week. But as the two faced off, another hot new face popped up on the big screen-Stephanie Vaquer. But as all of this was going on, the last NXT show on USA was almost pulled off the air due to time.

It is one challenge of running a live show. You know roughly how long something should go, but it’s almost never an exact figure. Take a look at most major professional sports as an example. Those games may often take three hours, but some can finish faster while others take longer. Pro wrestling shows, for the most part, are given a set time to run. Matches are planned out to have a set time each, so that the company can get everything done within time. Except, things don’t always go to script, and sometimes things happen and there are time issues. It’s unclear exactly what contributed to the NXT issues, but Fightful did confirm that we nearly saw that last NXT show on USA pulled in the middle of a major event for the women’s division.
