MORE ON WWE'S NXT PLANS

As Christian alluded to on last night's episode of Raw, all of the current ECW brand talents will be moving to Smackdown and Raw with the storyline being they will be "free agents."

The WWE NXT series, which all signs point to being a "reality" based show where new talents are striving to earn a slot on the main rosters, will still feature veteran talents from the other brands.

The word from creative sources is that there will be regular appearances from WWE stars "mentoring and hindering" the new talents that are being introduced on NXT.

So, WWE will use the larger names to help draw a rating for the series while using NXT to break new talents out.

WWE NXT will debut on 2/23.
