Report: FOX Internally Believed NXT on FS1 Was a Done Deal


— With WWE deciding to go with USA for their NXT show, it appears their new partner FOX was seemingly convinced that they would be awarded the show to air on FS1. FOX actually went as far as telling their affiliate stations that they would be getting NXT and while it didn’t turn into a huge deal because there was no public announcement made by the company, there was some “egg on their face” behind closed doors because they had to backtrack to their affiliates, according to Wrestling Observer Radio.
