What a year 2017 was for NXT.

New stars were made, both from the Independent scene and the Performance Center, as the supposed developmental brand continued to produce WWE’s finest weekly television product. Having an absolutely stacked roster certainly helped.

But that WWE wheel never stops turning.

NXT can’t afford to sit back and give itself a Barry Horowitz slap on the back after the year it has had - it needs to work out how to top in 2018. The main roster will almost certainly continue to poach stars from Full Sail University, and NXT must continue to find ways to turn those negatives into positives.

Each year is more important than the last, and the next one is shaping up to be positively vital for WWE’s developmental brand. What can we expect from NXT in the coming 12 months?

Certain things absolutely must happen.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
