The more NXT the better. Anything that means I don't have to watch the headache inducing main roster camera work.

Real question...what Japan promotions would they want to work with, or being real what ones would be interested in working with them? If they're smart, DDT and Stardom.

I feel like a big reason they're doing this is not just branding in other markets, but to be able to have canned footage to use in hype video-packages for main roster call-ups that they don't have to buy. Why try to buy other company's tape-libraries when you can create them yourself?

Seeing how AEW can probably outspend WWE on talent _and_ offer non-exclusivity, I fail to see how WWE's global expansion plans via NXT are continuing unabated, _especially_ since the m.o. with NXT:UK has been revealed (cooperation with local promotions, then increasing exclusivity until the talents previously working with local promotions are no longer available to them.) Sure, WWE appears to have money to burn, but given its record these days with its main rosters' creative teams and the increasing dissatisfaction among the talent, is NXT really the way to expand now? AEW would need a source of income, which they don't have to outspend WWE. Just because Daddy Khan has money doesn't mean it's all liquid and spendable especially on his kid's hobby.

In total, I can't see them outspending WWE, but they are spending that is for sure. They outbid New Japan for Kenny and Kenny was making $1 million a year in Japan.

Don't they have a working agreement with NOAH? NOAH has a new primary owner, so who knows about the state of that "agreement" that seemed nothing more than to get KENTA to do another match there (and now he can do how many he wants since he's out of the WWE umbrella).
