True. Maybe they are willing to do so though? The WWE covers the entire overhead of NXT, so they probably wouldn't need that much. If the "WWE" name is enough to get more people in than already watch the network, it could actually be a real sell to the executives that are putting pressure down. It's not like ESPN would need to hire anybody else to work on NXT or anything. They'd just need to press a button and they can spend the next hour firing people.
