Triple H recently spoke to LADBible TV about his vision for NXT and referred to it as an \"almost World Cup\" scenario.
The intent will be to take NXT Europe and bring that around the world. So NXT Europe, NXT Australia, NXT South Africa, South America, and Mexico. All those things and eventually build it into a global system that will lead to almost a World Cup scenario.
