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[...]

Since Paul "Triple H" Levesque took over the operations of WWE this past July, the company's developmental brand NXT (the passion project of Triple H himself) has seen a makeover and a reconfiguring back to where they were a couple of years ago  NXT has again started hosting its own primetime weekend premium live events on Peacock, and[...]

We are just four days away from NXT's next premium live event, NXT Deadline, which will take over Peacock this Saturday night  The big selling point for the event is the debut of the brand new Iron Survivor Challenge match, of which we will be seeing two (a men's and women's version, respectively), so hopefully it delivers[...]

 William Regal had worked for WWE as a very successful and respected wrestler and then transitioned to a backstage role in 2014, where he became the company's Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting and was considered to be among the best talent scouts in the entire industry. Along with that, William Regal was[...]

 And now, he's bringing all of that with him to his current stomping grounds as head of NXT, where he's devised the brand new Iron Survivor Challenge, which will debut in men's and women's matches at the upcoming NXT Deadline. "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will reveal the participants in the first-ever Iron Survivor Challenge tonight on NXT,[...]

Since the announcement of NXT's brand-new match type, The Iron Survivor Challenge, which will debut in a men's and women's version, respectively, at December 10's NXT Deadline premium live event on Peacock, fans have been kind of suspect as to how the match will work  If we're being blunt, there appears to be a gluttony of[...]

It was a month ago at NXT Halloween Havoc when Wes Lee secured the greatest accomplishment of his career thus far in defeating four other men in a Ladder Match for the North American Championship  One of the men Lee defeated for the title, Carmelo Hayes, is arguably the greatest North American Champion in NXT history, having held the[...]

 How about two?  That's what we can look forward to with tonight's episode of NXT on the USA Network, where NXT Champion Bron Breakker will defend his title against the mighty Von Wagner, while NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose will look to continue her reign into its second year as she defends her title against Alba Fyre[...]

The Chadster longs for the days when wrestling was contested in front of empty arenas, a veritable golden age according to The Chadster.

I have always thought that NXT should feature as much wrestling as possible and not worry so much about the other stuff  If NXT is supposed to be for developing the WWE stars of tomorrow, then they should be really focusing on their craft and figuring that all out  This focus was lost a bit during the NXT[...]

Starrcade, Wargames, and Halloween Havoc were NXT events. One of many logos of WCW It wouldn't be a bad idea to consider overlapping NXT and WCW from here on out Let's start with Tuesday's NXT and start calling it Nitro like the original TBS days or Thunder if you liked the TNT show name better[...]

NXT has had some truly dominant Women's Champions over the years, and we are currently smack-dab in the middle of one right now Mandy Rose has held the title for over a year now, and after successfully defending it again at Halloween Havoc, it's hard to see an end in sight  While we wait to see[...]

 She then turned heel and became a dark, arrogant version of herself whom fans referred to as "Evil Emma." After her WWE run, she worked in Ring of Honor and then for several years in IMPACT under her real name, building a pretty good reputation as a talented wrestler for the first time since her days[...]

The NXT brand will take over Peacock and the WWE Network tonight with their own Premium Live Event, the annual Halloween Havoc, which carries on the legacy of the iconic WCW event  And they are keeping in the spooky season spirit by not only raising dead shows but by bringing back popular SmackDown star and all things horror[...]

 The stars from the main rosters of Raw and SmackDown respectively invaded NXT for the night to both compete against the company's biggest up-and-coming stars and to compete against AEW Dynamite over on TBS as a one (Tuesday) night only return of the "Wednesday Night Wars."  What do we call it?  The Tuesday Night Tussle?  I'll leave that up to[...]

 Well, the day of the week may be wrong but WWE's NXT on the USA Network is once again going head-to-head with AEW's Dynamite over on TBS tonight  So why brought about the direct competition?  You can thank Major League Baseball's Game One of the American League Championship Series on TBS tomorrow night, which of course takes precedence[...]

Won't be at tonight's Raw in Oklahoma City or NXT tomorrow. — Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) October 17, 2022 While it's definitely a bummer that Triple H won't be around in person this week to oversee the events after such a recent crowd-pleasing hot streak, it's more important he focuses on his health and gets back to[...]

If you were to pick one young talent in all of WWE that looks tailor-made for success, it's the current NXT Champion Bron Breakker  He's huge, he's charismatic, he's a former NFL player, he has a pro-wrestling pedigree, and he's fun to watch in the ring  At first glance, Ilja Dragunov is the antithesis of Bron Breakker… until[...]

NXT is still slowly but surely easing into a new era that looks to be something of a hybrid between the classic "black and gold" era and the more recent (and controversial) NXT 2.0 era  But one constant that has carried over is the man on top of the mountain, and that continues to be[...]

 Now, with the incredibly successful return of Bray Wyatt at this past Saturday night's Extreme Rules Premium Live Event on Peacock, it appears Wyatt's real-life brother and former NXT and WWE superstar Bo Dallas is set to make his WWE return in the very near future. Former NXT Champion Bo Dallas is reportedly set to make his WWE return soon, courtesy[...]

Yes, SEO gods, we thank you for this bounty! Amen! So anyway, here are Three New Commentary Teams for Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. 1 WWE Raw Commentary[...]

Alba Fyre has been on a warpath in her continued pursuit of Mandy Rose and her NXT Women's Championship  While she will likely have to wait until NXT Halloween Havoc on October 22 to get her shot at the belt, Fyre will have plenty of chances to beat the Champion down tonight when she teams with Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark[...]

Fans were none too pleased when arguably the most popular member of the NXT roster, LA Knight was called up to the SmackDown brand this past April, only to be repackaged as an agent/manager for male models named Max Dupri  He formed Maximum Male Models consisting of Mansoor and Mace, now renamed mån.sôör and ma.cé respectively, and was joined by his "sister" Maxxine Dupri in[...]

Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen prided themselves on being the toughest pair of party animals in all of NXT  That was until Gallus arrived from the now defunct NXT UK and set out to show the Americans just how tough a team should be  This came to a head last week when the two teams got into it backstage[...]

Since NXT UK was essentially absorbed by NXT 2.0 weeks ago, we've seen several European stars make their way to the United States to make a name for themselves  One notably absent star was recent NXT UK Champion, "The Mad Czar" Ilja Dragunov  Well, that's an issue no more as Dragunov made his presence felt on last night's NXT 2.0,[...]

We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve." WWE fans have seen a number of WarGames matches over the past few years down in NXT, but this will mark the iconic match's debut for the main roster  It has been reported often over the years that Triple H would push hard[...]

Last night marked one full year since WWE's NXT developmental brand big farewell to the familiar black and gold color scheme, and with it, a reliable spot for quality wrestling and instead welcomed in the NXT 2.0 relaunch, complete with a loud rainbow-splattered look and a focus on silly gimmicks and lousy comedy  Well, just one[...]

Tonight marks the first anniversary of the rainbow-colored NXT 2.o era for the brand, and uh, it certainly has been a year  While most fans would agree that the overall quality of the show and the brand around it has dropped considerably as they've traded serious storytelling and high work rate for gimmicks and obnoxious comedy[...]

In what was a very, VERY busy and even infamous weekend across the wrestling landscape, little old NXT ended up holding their own with a very entertaining and strong show Sunday on Peacock  NXT: Worlds Collide gave us solid matches top to bottom and indeed collided the worlds of NXT 2.0 and the now extinct NXT UK, leaving[...]

This Sunday night's NXT Worlds Collide event on Peacock was built on the promise of the NXT UK brand facing the stars of NXT 2.0, in some cases unifying the corresponding titles from the two brands  But something we weren't anticipating was that the stars of Raw and SmackDown would get involved with the event and as it turns out[...]
