10 Booking Steps For WWE NXT (25 Sept)

10. Keep The Momentum Going

Although far from the perfect show, there was a lot to like about NXT last week. A lot.

Compelling drama, interesting characters and, best of all, compelling in-ring action. Where WWE's main roster is often guilty of allowing momentum to dissipate - either by not consistently booking their stars or adding unnecessary distractions to their angles - NXT's clean slate means they are free to chart a far more interesting course.

Pete Dunne, Roderick Strong, Candice LeRae and Lio Rush picked up big wins last week, while the likes of Bianca Belair, Velveteen Dream and Arturo Ruas all bucked a big WWE trend by actually getting over in their defeats. While the split between TV and the Network means some of them will have been less visible than others, they should all feature prominently here.

Bottom line is, a lot of this NXT audience is new to the product and, thus, have short attention spans. You need to drill home your big players and do it quickly.
