10 Booking Steps For WWE NXT (25 Sept)

9. An Undisputed Opening

Speaking of drilling home your biggest players, as NXT went off the air last week (for the majority of the audience, obviously you and me with the Network knew this was only the halfway point) we ended with the shot of the Undisputed Era holding all the gold. Or, to word that as people new to the product will have understood it; Roder... Rob... Robert? I think it's Robert? Robert Strong won the title and then three of his friends all came out with... other... belts? I think.

UE hold all the men's gold in NXT, so you've got a great chance to introduce the different title pictures to your audience this week. Kick the show off with them, put Cole front and centre to establish him as the leader of the group, and get the wheels in motion for whoever's about to challenge for their titles next.

NXT goes head-to-head with AEW for the first time next week, and it wouldn't be a terrible idea to give the audience some matches with actual stakes heading into it. Whether it's two individuals and a tag team, or simply another faction of four, fans want to know who's going to unseat these lads from their lofty perches.
