The NXT we know seemed to reach its end. As I write this, a new era has ushered and following the actual event. NXT taped its last few episodes. Reports also stated that this coming NXT is not what Triple H has been producing for years — Vince McMahon and Bruce Pichard will now handle that (or at least, reportedly).

There's always a reason why NXT TakeOver specials are the WWE's top shows year in and year out (sorry, not even WrestleMania can top them now). They have a stack of stories that has got everyone glued to their seat. Hell, they don't even need four hours to produce a stellar show (not even five).

There's a reason why NXT TakeOver specials has been topping those WWE weekend offerings for long, especially after seeing a long-and-dragging WrestleMania 34 come to a close.

Better late than never, as they say, but an NXT special just kicked off the historic Survivor Series weekend; and it just got the right blend to hit the WWE's last annual big weekend of the year with a bang.

As SummerSlam weekend approaches by, so was the WrestleMania-like of the NXT, and it was staged at Brooklyn; with all the strong and glorious fashions the WWE has ever made for its prospects.

I haven't been following NXT but perhaps we haven't saw this coming at all.

Same Feud, New Chapter

This is one of the rivalries I am definitely looking up to this year. Yes, it’s a rekindled one from their pre-WWE eras. And we’re talking about Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.

There’s nothing I can say here but… wow.

If you noticed since the time I followed professional wrestling, there is one pay-per-view I haven’t done a full review: and that is Elimination Chamber.

Sami Zayn gets his hands at the man who once called him as “best friend” but at the same time that turned back on him after winning the NXT championship; while it’s Charlotte and Sasha Banks again for the NXT Women’s championship – plus Bayley and Becky Lynch; and a whole lot more occure4d in this NXT special event known as Takeover Rival.

The Rundown Slam: NXT Takeover REvolution

12/24/2014 6:36:35 PM

At the event where the World Wrestling Entertainment is switching gears past the Authority Era, the developmental stage had few things in mind: the possibly shifting of supremacy in some kind of revolutionary manner, the entrance of another heavyweight shift in the pro wrestling scene, and the development of other stars...something I’d like to call as evolution.

NXT, the WWE’s developmental firm just had their fourth special episode of the year, and it’s called Takeover REvolution.

Playback: Finn Balor's NXT Entrance

For the past few weeks, I’ve been seeing WWE’s developmental program NXT very rarely. And the thing is, its special episodes (their counterpart to those main PPV events) were hardly shown on TV, which made me rely on the internet more than often.

Last Saturday afternoon, as I went to update and download my music files, I checked out NXT Takeover R Evolution on Dailymotion (by the way, I’ll post my take about its entirety later this week), and one of those heavyweight battles (relax, this had nothing to do with title matches) was a tag-team match between a former duo champs and a tandem of international superstars.

And perhaps the most surprising shit of them all is that guy named Finn Balor.

NXT: The Future of Sports Entertainment

Is NXT the future of professional wrestling?

Definitely it is.

You know, folks, this is a must-watch program if you want to see more of real deal slam banging action instead of relying on the mainstream (or rather, the show where the main roster lives in) phase where RAW, SMACKDOWN, MAIN EVENT and even SUPERSTARS aired.

Mind you, their anthem suited best for business, much better than the combined RAW and SMACKDOWN.

The Rundown Slam: WWE NXT Takeover Fatal 4 Way

This is the first time I’m going to have a say about the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) NXT third annual special titled NXT Takeover Fatal 4 Way.

Just about four months ago in the same titled event, Adrian Neville went successful in his title defense against Tyson Kidd. The gorgeous star Tyler Breeze also emerged as the top contender after defeating Sami Zayn. Plus, Charlotte won the vacant Women’s champion in a battle of generation superstars against Natalya; and the Ascension continued to reign supreme in their tag team duel.

Fast forward to September 11, at the same venue, the Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. The developmental brand is up for a two-hour package.
