It’s almost here - the most wonderful time of the year!
No, we’re not talking about Christmas. Although that and other religions’ major winter holidays are great, too. We’re talking, of course, about WWE Week on USA Network!
Okay, maybe I’m over-selling it a little. But I am very excited about the upgrade from some WWE Films’ Christmas movie to the broadcast debut of NXT. Plus, we still get a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson/Disney joint - and Luke Harper: Actor!
Here are all the details from the network:
