10 Directions NXT Should Look At For 2017
3. NXT's Very Own Royal Rumble
As a match that has maintained the same level of engagement throughout its history, Royal Rumbles are great. There is an intangible level of excitement that comes out of not knowing whose music will hit next. And imagine the build up that might come from NXT announcing its own Royal Rumble, with the inclusion of many unsigned wrestlers who have never stepped inside a WWE ring before. NXT are great for using indie talent, so they could easily bulk up the number to 20 or even 30 if they wanted to be ambitious.
This could be to decide a number one contender for the NXT Championship, similar to the main roster Rumble, or even in the same vein as the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, but either way, it would be a great way of introducing new signings and laying foundations for new feuds.
If they ran it six months after the main roster Rumble, then we would get a great turn around and it would not feel overdone. It would be a fantastic addition to the NXT calendar.
