During The Arn Show, Arn Anderson discussed why NXT feels to some that it has lost its coolness with fans since moving to the USA Network last year. Here is what he had to say:
“Well do you think that some of the guys from the main roster that were bumped back down so that you have more star power on that show,” Anderson said. “This is in the front offices mind, ‘Okay, we’ll take some of these proven talents and bump them back down to make that a more competitive brand with those people’, but when they come back down they bring their Raw or Smackdown style with them. So it’s not NXT or NXT style matches.
“Now it’s guys from Raw or Smackdown that are bringing their style of work back down with them so that show dynamic changes. [The fans] are seeing a lot of stuff they see on Monday or Friday and now it’s on NXT so it’s not a pure NXT show.”
