6. More International WWE Network Specials
The aforementioned NXT TakeOver: London show was a rip-roaring success for WWE. Astonishingly, the UK-based event pulled in approximately 10,000 fans to the Wembley Arena in the city, and did so without relying on main roster names to pad out proceedings. That's a very good sign that WWE are going in the right direction with the brand, but there's much more to do. In July, the 5-match 'Beast In The East' event was another feather in WWE's cap for 2015. Held in Japan, the card had a truly unique atmosphere which entertained many watching on the WWE Network. This is the kind of thing the subsciption-only service is tailor made to provide, and there should be a lot more where Beast In The East and NXT TakeOver: London came from next year. For fans in the United Kingdom, the idea of WWE presenting a live pay-per-view in the country is very enticing. There's no reason why it couldn't happen, the organisation could sell an awful lot of tickets for even a 'B' event like Money In The Bank or Hell In A Cell. Whatever the case, fans want to see more of these international flavours on the Network, it works well.
