This Week's UPDATES

In just one week, it's the 2019 D23 Expo from Anaheim, California and I want to make a big announcement that next Monday, August 26, I will be doing a special post covering almost all of the big announcements from the Expo. It will be just like old times when #KlicKNet was on a daily basis and I had been thinking about bringing back the daily format for a one whole week as of late and maybe there's still time to do that. Prepares following the special Monday post next week, we'll have additional posts on from Tuesday August 27 to Friday August 30, only time will. Right now, we have to get through with the current new week we are in, but to so I say we dive into to this week's 7-Day Round-Up that is sure to have some interesting topics on hand.

Our Main Story continues the ongoing rumor of WWE's black and gold brand NXT moving to cable television this fall. It seems like the WWE has finally viewed the ever-growing All Elite Wrestling as a legitimate threat and soon we will see the likes of Jon Moxely, Kenny Omega, Hangman Adam Page and the Young Bucks in prime-time action in their all new show coming to TNT on October 2nd. Meanwhile, a new rumor that has been brought out that NXT will be going live themselves but not on the WWE Network, and maybe not even on FS1, instead WWE has pitched an idea to have NXT on the USA Network, the current home of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE. The latter show will be moving to Friday Nights LIVE on FOX starting with its 20th Anniversary on October 4th, and if NXT were to replace that show on USA, then all hell is gonna break loose. Meaning that we could be one step closer to seeing WWE and AEW going head-to-head on Wednesday Nights and nothing could prepare for that if it truly happens. For insight on the possible NXT move to a new network, we turn to a special Web Choice playlist with wrestling insiders voicing their own opinions on the situation.
