10 More Ways WWE Could Mine Nostalgia During The Empty Arena Era

10. The OG NXT

NXT is a very serious product.

Too serious, may critics have argued. Not least in the shadow of AEW's strong grasp of good wrestling comedy. The counter - and if it isn't, it should be after another lousy cinematic match at TakeOver: In Your House - is that the black-and-gold brand can't do it well, so they don't bother trying at all.

But there wouldn't half be some gallows humour in forcing the sternest roster in WWE to take a night off playing their characters and split into rookies and pros for a night of contests, immunity points and promos about moustaches all hosted by William Regal and Matt Striker making a one night return to the role as sh*t-talking host.

After bucketloads of callbacks and reminders that Striker was all too keen on the failures of those given very little chance to succeed, he could make a break for the car park only to be met by a beating from Karrion Kross. Before he can be left to fester on the concrete, El Phantasma's masked accomplices then whisk him away in their van, at long last disposing of any lingering memories of the original brand.
