Rumor Roundup: USA Network furious over Raw ratings, NXT show, more!

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.

Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.

Rumors for the Day:

• talkSPORT has a source telling them that USA Network is “furious” over low viewership for Monday Night Raw and they “want more adult content. Not sexy adult, but dark and violent adult.”
• Wrestling Inc says Triple H has assembled a team to oversee a new NXT show, likely for the Network, that was targeted for early 2021 but has since been pushed back. Dave Meltzer, meanwhile, has said talks of a new NXT show have been ongoing for a while and nothing is official at this point.
