[VIDEO] Basically this video discusses the drama behind the possible revamp of NXT - WWE's developmental brand. One proposed revamp involves talent of which a few recently were released some of the names were surprising such as recent former NXT North American champ Bronson Reed.
One explanation for that is that Vince McMahon who controls WWE wants the promotion to cater to younger and larger talent. McMahon has always wanted the muscular and larger than life performers like The Rock, Hulk Hogan and often eschewed smaller performers notwithstanding performers like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart or even Daniel Bryan.
As stated I'd be disappointed if NXT lost some aspects of its identity as something of a WWE owned indie promotion. I'd be disappointed if they began to eschew much older more seasoned performers for example Mercedez Martinez who got some notice on NXT who was 40 when she was released recently. I'd like to think a very talented indie older performer over 30 could make it to a Wrestlemania main event even if they had to go through NXT.
Finally another concern is the status of Triple H with the developmental brand. NXT is his baby, it's his vision for where WWE could go. There's a reason that the PPV style events are called TakeOvers. Triple H may never leave given that he's married to a McMahon, however, what's next if he's pushed aside.
