10 Booking Steps For WWE NXT (25 Sept)

7. Clear Up Last Week's Questions

Now, yes, this did take place on the Network, but anyone tuning in on USA and really, really liking what they saw will have managed to catch it at some point. Basically, NXT threw together a segment that will have drawn a massive reaction from existing fans but made precisely zero sense to new viewers.

Who is this Dejournette fella? Is he here for a match? Is that his opponent coming through the crowd? Why are there three of them in matching jackets? Why are they beating him up? What is this "Walter" the crowd are chanting for? Is this him? He's the United Kingdom Champion? But I thought this was America!? What's he talking about? Why is Marty McFly here now? How is he beating them all up? Why is he shushing them all? Are they going to have a match? What has just happened?

I loved this segment, and I'm willing to bet you did too, but imagine showing it to someone who doesn't know anything about NXT or even the existence of NXT UK. The second hour will be on the Network again this week, but after that everything has to be written with casual and first-time fans in mind. Clear this all up now and save yourself the headache next week.
