Later this month, the brand will be embarking on its first-ever UK tour, complete with a live TakeOver special from London. Add that to the imminent television debuts of former independent talents Rich Swann and Biff Busick, and the future looks bright for NXT. Still, things aren't perfect - over the course of its short history, NXT has faced some serious issues. Some have been all but swept under the rug, while others are persisting headaches which WWE simply hopes fans won't notice.
