When fans enter Orlando’s Capitol Wrestling Center, then the show begins live on USA Network, the 11-year-old WWE brand is expected to look and feel totally different than it has before. Whether that proves to be good, bad or just different remains to be seen.
The company has been pretty scant on details, apart from a paint-splashy new logo and a short teaser video set to a Wale track. But there is some trepidation among longtime NXT fans about the relaunch, particularly after reports in many online media outlets that the creative direction was being steered by Vince McMahon and those at the top of WWE, rather than having a different perspective led by Paul (Triple H) Levesque and a separate production team.
