According to Dave Meltzer, WWE's deal with the USA Network to start airing NXT on Wednesday is worth at least $50 million. That means they're paying at least $1 million per episode and this is a huge upgrade for NXT after previously airing on the WWE Network.
Analysts believe that WWE will see anywhere from $30 million - $70 million in returns from their deal with the USA Network and some even estimate that they could earn as much as $100 million!
This is very good news for the talent as they're bound to benefit from this and should start earning considerably more money as a result. Right now, most NXT Superstars earn a lot less than their main roster counterparts, so this could change that and may mean more underutilised talent will consider returning to the developmental brand.
