I see that, that’s the plan but it’s quite ambitious. I’m wondering how they’re going to match those expectations with realities. |

Not exactly countries, but general regions:
1. South Korea or Hong Kong - Setting up internally in China would not be a good idea, and Japan would be an uphill fight. Setting up a branch in this general region would likely be one or the other.
2. Somewhere around the Mediterranean - I can see them setting up something in this general area, in order to give them better access to any talent or markets in North Africa, the Middle East, or Eastern European.
3. Australia - There's a lot of untapped potential in Australia and the nearby area (NZ, etc) that it could support a more low-key production like UK.
4. Canada - There's still just enough separation in the borders that it would serve the WWE well to have a unit in place there. Less need to worry about visas, more than enough talent floating around to keep the roster full.
5. America Samoa - After only a month or two, every single person on that island will be attending the shows as fans as well as working for the company. And then they'll invade and take over the rest of the NXTs as the Ano'ai Endgame Protocols are initiated.
Er, I mean 5. The rest of Europe
I don't see them attempting anything in Central or South America for quite some time. Maybe they'll surprise me and try to create a lucha libre promotion from scratch, but I just don't see them wanting to have to deal with it just yet.

They have the money, resources, and spitefulness to run however many local developmental farms they want, and if they find themselves suddenly in a position where they need more money, f*** it, shack up with another dubious regime and run more blood money shows. NXT UK has been perfectly fine programming but it has also given me the impression that they are more than okay with spending a lot of money just to have people employed, rather than with any kind of clear vision for building a strong product around the slate of talent involved. |

Japan India Coruscant LV-426 East St Louis "East St. Louis" *spits out water* As a St Lousian I'm dying. They could pull a TNA and have the strippers from the local joints dancing in cages. |

According to this map I'm very much looking forward to seeing a NxT Europe show being taped in Svalbard. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they went to South America, they've had a few Brazilian talents in NXT, I remember someone from Chile bing in the Cruiserweight Classic. I don't know a lot, but it seems there's at least a bit of talent out there and they have their eyes out in that region. |

I may be biased,but with the amount of athletes south america produces I think it is a good idea to explorer.
The thing is there is no wrestling here,no promotions, but people are aware of WWE.They could basically create a Wrestling Monopoly in South America.

Setting up a branch in this general region would likely be one or the other. The only thing is living in South Korea, I don't know how big wrestling is here. We have a traditional form (like sumo) but I rarely hear WWE mentioned. That said, WWE is on Fox/FX here and NJPW just started on FX recently. Plus the number of foreigners here is growing... so maybe? Personally, I feel like if unless the wrestlers can play excellent LOL or look like a member of BTS they'll have a tough time here. I would think Japan would be better for a location, but that's NJPW home turf. |
