NXT Archives

 These conundrums usually involve current Champions swapping brands, but what about when a current Champion is set to defend their title against an opponent who is also hitting the road?  That's the situation we find ourselves in with tonight's WWE NXT on the USA Network, as the reigning NXT Women's Tag Team Champions, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn,[...]

It's time to shake things up again!  Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown on FOX will officially kick off the 2023 WWE Draft, where we will see the rosters of Raw, SmackDown, and even NXT all shuffled, and the end result should (ideally) create new and exciting match-ups  This year's Draft will also set the stage for a[...]

Tonight will be an interesting evening for the NXT brand for a number of reasons Of course, we will see this year's edition of the brand's not-quite Premium Live Event NXT Spring Breakin', and a number of their biggest titles will be on the line  But this is no ordinary timing for the event, as[...]

The landscape atop the land of NXT is certainly different than it was last month  Longtime Champion Bron Breakker appears headed up to either Raw or SmackDown once this year's edition of the WWE Draft gets underway in just ten days from now, and that leaves a sizeable gap on top of the card[...]

There's a new top dog in NXT, and his name is Carmelo Hayes  After defeating the mighty Bron Breakker to become the new NXT Champion at Stand & Deliver, Hayes made it clear on last week's show that he plans on holding onto the title for a good long while  That didn't sit well with the former Champion[...]

 After all of that and the big news yesterday that WWE is now merging with UFC to form a new mega-company and that Vince McMahon was now firmly back in complete control again (see last night's Raw), you would be forgiven for forgetting that Saturday afternoon's NXT Stand & Deliver Premium Live Event on Peacock ever even took place[...]

This year's NXT Stand & Deliver is now in the books, and it was quite the eventful, um, event  We got to see a Ladder Match, a Fatal 5-Way Match, and a surprisingly violent, Unsanctioned Match  Some good matches were seen, and some gold switched hands, including the biggest prize in all of the NXT brand[...]

It's officially WrestleMania weekend, and kicking things off today on Peacock is the gang down in WWE developmental as the NXT brand will be putting on their biggest Premium Live Event of the year, NXT Stand & Deliver  While NXT has been through some noticeable changes over the past couple of years, one constant is the[...]

 One of the biggest events is the NXT brand's Mania week offering on Saturday afternoon, NXT Stand & Deliver, where we will see all of the brand's titles on the line and maybe some young stars making big names for themselves while in the spotlight  But before then, we have one more episode of WWE NXT on the[...]

WWE NXT has been in a weird spot as of late  There has been plenty of good matches from those whom you would expect to see week in and week out  But storyline-wise, you can kind of hear the gasping  It just doesn't feel like there's much juice there right now, and that's really a[...]

There's no doubt that Bron Breakker is the top dog in NXT and has been for quite some time now  He made an immediate impact upon arrival in September of 2021 and didn't wait long to show everyone he was the man, defeating Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship just four months later[...]

WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT head honcho "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels had one of the most unique and storied careers in the history of the wrestling industry  While it looked like he was done for after WrestleMania XIV in 1998 due to a terrible back injury and his personal issues, HBK made an unprecedented[...]

While NXT Champion Bron Breakker is happy to face any and all challengers to prove he is the king of NXT, there is another man in the brand who has proven to be a fighting Champion, North American Champion Wes Lee  Having faced some pretty overwhelming (and much larger than himself) challengers over the past several[...]

 While Mahal's career has never gotten close to reaching those heights again (he's back to being rarely featured on TV), absence has not made the heart grow fonder, and fans are again sweating imagining Mahal as a World Champion, albeit this time in NXT, which could come to fruition tonight on WWE NXT on the[...]

There has been no more dominant superstar in all of NXT over the past couple of years than Bron Breakker  He's been NXT Champion most of his time in the brand and has destroyed nearly all challengers in his path  His most recently fallen foe was the irritating Grayson Waller, whom he defeated inside of a steel[...]

The NXT brand took over Peacock and the WWE Network this past Saturday night with their own Premium Live Event in the form of NXT Vengeance Day from Charlotte, North Carolina  Every title was on the line and the action-packed event culminated with a battle for the NXT Championship between Champion Bron Breakker and challenger Grayson Waller inside[...]

WWE's NXT brand takes over Peacock and the WWE Network tonight with their own premium live event, NXT Vengeance Day, airing live from Charlotte, North Carolina Headlining the show is a big Steel Cage Match for the NXT Championship when Champion Bron Breakker defends against NXT's biggest heel, Grayson Waller  The two battled for the title last[...]

This Saturday, the NXT brand will host its own premium live event on Peacock in the form of NXT Vengeance Day in Charlotte, North Carolina No match on the card will carry more importance than the battle for the NXT Championship between Bron Breakker and his challenger Grayson Waller While a premium live event-headling title match[...]

 And yet tonight on NXT, we are being presented with a pretty unique situation and an even more unique potential outcome when a single woman will challenge the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions for their titles and could walk away holding both belts  That is, unless she has an ace up her sleeve and has a secret[...]

A standard match for the NXT Championship at last week's New Year's Evil wasn't enough to handle the animosity between the Champion Bron Breakker and the Number One Contender Grayson Waller  The ring and, more specifically, the ropes couldn't contain the action as we saw Waller break the rope and crash to the outside, leading to a count-out[...]

It's been a minute since a legit heel has had a run with the NXT Championship  Current Champ Bron Breakker has had a stranglehold over the title for a year now, despite a brief blip this past March where Dolph Ziggler inexplicably won it for a couple of weeks Still, the brand's top heel is gunning for gold now,[...]

 Whatever your opinion is of NXT and its merits as a TV show, there has always been near-unanimous praise for Triple H's other creation in the Performance Center  Not only serving as a state-of-the-art training facility for the WWE stars of tomorrow, but the Performance Center also exists for current superstars to train, recover from injuries, and[...]

Wes Lee has had possibly the most interesting 2022 on the entire NXT roster  After winning the NXT Tag Team Championship as a member of MSK on WrestleMania weekend, he was forced to forfeit the title when his tag team partner Nash Carter was released by WWE just a week later due to domestic abuse allegations and inappropriate pictures that[...]

Last week we saw the WWE NXT Women's Championship surprisingly change hands in an exciting main event  Now tonight on the USA Network, we will see if the men's and women's Tag Team Titles will follow suit, as both will be on the line on tonight's episode of NXT  Triple Crown Champions The New Day will[...]

In some shocking news this afternoon, we are learning that Mandy Rose, who just hours ago last night on NXT lost the NXT Women's Championship to Roxanne Perez, has been released by WWE  Rose had held on to the title for 414 days before shockingly losing it to Perez in the main event of last night's show on[...]

Tonight's episode of NXT was, quite frankly, excellent from beginning to end  The show opened with the first-ever Women's Iron Survivor Challenge winner Roxanne Perez hitting the ring and celebrating her victory and her impending title shot before she was interrupted by NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose, who ended up taking a shot at her[...]

 While they certainly did not need any more hardware to solidify their greatness, that did not stop them from heading down to Orlando, Florida this past Saturday night and defeating Pretty Deadly for the NXT Tag Team Championship at the NXT Deadline premium live event on Peacock  Now with them being Triple Crown Tag Team Champions, what will Kofi Kingston[...]

As a developmental brand, NXT serves as the minor league (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way) to WWE's major league brands of Raw and SmackDown respectively  As such, if everything is working as it should, young wrestlers fine-tune their craft down in Orlando, and then when they are deemed ready, they get the call-up to the main[...]

Earlier this week, The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) shocked WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson) when they showed up on the USA Network series with one thing in mind Making sure that Prince and Wilson have those NXT Tag Team titles in their stockings well before[...]

The NXT brand gets the premium live event treatment tonight when they take over the Peacock app with NXT Deadline  Now, normally any card featuring the NXT Championship on the line would see that match as the main attraction, but that's not the case tonight, as we will see the debut of a brand new match type[...]
