10 Ups And 14 Downs For WWE In 2015 (So Far)

3. NXT

Simply put, if you can€™t enjoy NXT, you might want to stop watching WWE right now. The company€™s developmental territory is the main (if not, only) pipeline for future WWE superstars, and we€™ve seen during the past couple years just how great some of the talent that has come through the territory really is. The members of the Shield, Paige, Bray Wyatt, Rusev and others all have come through NXT. NXT has given us Kalisto, Neville and Kevin Owens during the first half of this year, with Sami Zayn getting a major spotlight as well. Meanwhile, Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Samoa Joe, Tyler Breeze, the Vaudevillains and others fill the ranks of NXT, waiting for their opportunity on the main roster.And that€™s not even touching the NXT women. Three of them made their debut in the second half of this year just on Monday (Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks), but you still have Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Carmella and Dana Brooke plying their trade in NXT. The one-hour weekly program on the WWE Network is an enjoyable diversion from the usual goings-on of Raw and Smackdown, with different characters and different presentation. It€™s one of the biggest high points of the year, hands down.
