It’s well known that WWE plans to expand their NXT brand globally and the company plans to open performance centers as well as development territories on different regions across the world.
The first step towards the same was the launch of a separate brand for the United Kingdom in NXT UK and now a new report has revealed another country the company could be planning to launch a separate NXT brand for.
According to new reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there has at least been some talk of launching an NXT Canada brand in the company backstage.
It’s also speculated that former WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella, who runs his own Battle Arts Pro Wrestling promotion in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada can be involved in the launch of this regional brand.
It’s worth mentioning here that the company will be holding a tryouts camp in Toronto Canada from Wednesday, August 7 through Friday, August 9 during the SummerSlam week.
This will be the first time WWE will hold tryouts in the country as the officials usually just bring the talents to their performance center in Florida for tryouts.
There is no word yet on what stages the talks of NXT Canada are or by what time the company expects to launch this new development brand but we’ll keep you posted on any future updates.
