WWE Expected To Start NXT India Brand In 2021

WWE kicking off phase two of local globalization.

A few years back Triple H stated that he wanted to start global localization with NXT. That’s means having NXT brands in different parts of the world. WWE has started that with NXT UK and now it looks like the next NXT regional brand is coming next year.

According to John Pollock of POST Wrestling and Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, they report that WWE is looking to start NXT India in 2021. Multiple sources have also stated that filming could start as early as January.

The report goes on to state that the brand could start off just like NXT UK did when WWE held the UK title tournament. As of several weeks ago, the plan was to do an eight-man single-elimination tournament to kick off the brand.

The current plan is for the show to air locally on television in India and then also release digitally on the WWE Network.

If we hear anything further on an NXT brand in India coming in 2021, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
