it's hard to know for sure, but a recent interview with Francois McGillicuddy, of BTN, seems to hint at more wrestling being on BTN+ than on BTN in the coming season, due to the expansion to 18 teams.

You have to click through the below links to read the full interview conducted by John Canzano.

Interesting. Not surprising that tough I suppose. Thanks for finding this Tom!

The BTN has overflow channels when needed if there are two football games being played on the network at the same time. Why can't they do the same if there is wrestling and volleyball at the same time? Maybe it has something to do with the details of media deals. Also, if they start doing that they'll decrease the value of BTN+. It is what it is.

It appears that the apprehension was unwarranted.
