Triple H will be doing a media call following tonight's WWE NXT debut on the USA Network. We will have complete coverage this evening of NXT and the call.
Triple H told CBS Sports that the move to USA will allow the fans to pick the best product they want to watch. He said the move is more about a platform shift, commenting, "While competition is exciting and I think it's great for anybody, I would put our NXT roster up against anybody on the planet. There is no one that I would trade, that I would switch out for anyone. I'll put them up against anyone and go toe-to-toe. I'm very confident that we will put on the best show long term and captivate fans in a meaningful way."
In honor of tonight's debut on USA, WWE has released a slew of new NXT t-shirts as well as talent shirts for Velveteen Dream, Street Profits, Vanessa Borne, Aliyah, Malcolm Bivens, Chelsea Green, Deonna Purrazzo, Bronson Reed, Tegan Nox, Isaiah Scott, Boa, Angel Garza, Shane Thorne, Reina Gonzales, Dio Maddin, Raul Mendoza, Xia Li, Brendan Vink, Joaquin Wilde, The Outlers, Jordan Myles, the team of Rinku Singh & Suarav Gurjar, Parker & Martel (aka 3.0), Taynara, Dexter Lumis, Austin Theory, Arturo Ruas, Cameron Grimes and probably even more.
The former Hijo del Fantasma is posting NXT graphics pushing tonight's debut with his real name, Jorge Bolly, so it appears that (for now at least), that will be his NXT ring name.
WWE is also now selling a "signature" WCW World Heavyweight title replica belt designed to look as the belt did when Hulk Hogan spray painted "NWO" over it with other Hogan themed accoutrements for a cheap $499.99. You can make that up!
