On the November 19th episode of 'Right After Wrestling' (airing on Sirius radio , channel 98) , Greg Sansone of the Score sports TV network, revealed there will be a 4th season of NXT. The Canadian sports channel has been airing the current season of NXT even though the series which shows hopefuls competing for a WWE roster spot, was dropped by SyFy. WWE Smackdown currently airs on SyFy, with the all-Diva Season 3 of NXT being available online at WWE.com. NXT has continued to air on TV channels internationally outside the United States.
Many fans were expecting this current season to be the last. This third season of NXT has been widely criticized as some of the worst WWE programming ever produced, with even some active members of WWE roster and broadcast teams joking about the show. In an infamous episode that aired a while back, CM Punk joined the color commentary team to mock the show and the Divas on air. It appeared as if WWE was simply phoning in an entire season of a fairly new concept show and try to complete their international TV deals. This news of a 4th season of the show is somewhat of a surprise.
Sansone elaborated on the future of NXT saying the show would return in December and would feature a cast of all male wrestlers. Expect NXT to continue to air on WWE.com for American fans. You can also watch the show on the web video portals, Youtube and Hulu.
There is no clear idea of what young up and coming wrestlers will compete on Season 4 of NXT, but all previous NXT 'Rookies' have been taken from WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling. Currently in FCW, there is a strong camp of potential future superstars. Ring of Honor World Champion Tylar Black who now wrestles under the name Seth Rollins, is a possible candidate for NXT.
Hopfully, WWE takes this next season of NXT seriously and tries to deliver on the innovative concept show.
