WWE's New Name for ECW Revealed, Austin-RAW Note, More

- In case you missed it before, Steve Austin will be promoting his movie Damages on RAW when he hosts in March.

- WWE had trademarked "NXT" to use for the new Tuesday night show on the SyFy network. Sources have confirmed that ECW will now be called WWE NXT, with the NXT standing for Next Generation.

Apparently the show will be built around an entirely new cast of characters with the idea that WWE fans can see these characters develop and debut only on SyFy. Expect a lot of talents from WWE developmental to be called up. More details on the new WWE show should be made clear tonight.

I don't know about this. I mean, it will still be the same ol crap, just under a new name. I never understood why Vince thinks that WWE really needs a third brand.

Those who refer to work as the highlight of their lives obviously don't have one.

It is being retired. There will be some sort of WWE NXT championship on that program, but there will never be an ECW world champion again once NXT debuts.

I like the third brand the more the better I hope in a couple of years it will total at least 4-6 brands

also if they make a SvR 2011 they outta keep ECW and WCW and have NXT, the possibilities are endless the more competition the better!

For the sake of pro wrestling in general, Vince needs to let ECW stay gone this time. I want to see WWE really make a go of it with NXT.
