WWE's 'NXT' Series to Shift to USA Network, Go Head to Head With AEW on TNT (Report)

WWE minor-league promotion currently runs its weekly show Wednesdays on WWE Network

These days, WWE Superstars don’t just make their TV money through in-ring performances on “Raw,” “SmackDown Live” and WWE Network pay-per-views — there’s an entire universe of opportunity for popular pro wrestlers to earn big bucks on the small screen.  

In our gallery are 11 WWE wrestlers with their own television shows. We’ve included a few select series from recent years to help paint a picture of the non-canvas landscape. A few: “Straight Up Steve Austin,” “Fight Like a Girl” and “The Big Show Show” have yet to premiere.  

For the purposes of this story, we only counted the three people who appeared in all 111 episodes of “Total Divas” — Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Natalya — as it being *their* show, but we included the names of everyone who showed up in seven or more episodes of that one.
