6. NXT Arrival Suffered From Technical Difficulties
The WWE Network launched in February of 2014 with promises of a revolutionized wrestling-watching experience. Not only would there be thousands of hours of streaming content available, but the service would also host live shows - and the first would be February 27's NXT Arrival. The show got good reviews, but that praise only applied to the parts that fans were able to see. With the Network in its infancy and bugs running rampant, many fans reported technical difficulties - or a complete inability to see parts of the show. The most common complain was that during the penultimate match - a Xavier Woods-Tyler Breeze encounter - the feed cut out, leading to thousands of fans being unable to watch the show's main event. That bout saw Neville win the NXT Championship from Bo Dallas in a ladder match, an emotional victory that more fans should have witnessed.
