10 Worst Sacrifices In WWE
1. NXT Loses Focus And Loses A War
When the original WWE Network version of NXT was expanded to two hours and dropped on to USA Network with a view of marginalising the fledgling All Elite Wrestling's success, the company sacrificed more than just a relatively sound developmental process.
The aura around the black-and-gold was seemingly unshakable, despite its place at the core of a company that seems to thrive on chaos in the image of its ancient ruler. Wrestlers would leave for redder and bluer pastures, but the new ones that took their places helped the salve the loss before becoming new favourites themselves. Triple H's propensity for signing fully-trained beloved stars helped expedite that too.
Great wrestlers begat great stories, or at least good ones told well and functionally to foster great matches at TakeOvers. It was an...arrangement almost everybody was at peace with until the Wednesday Night War began in 2019.
At that point, NXT lost tribalist fans to AEW, but lost the discerning audience to rush-job angles and ramshackle booking. That Dynamite was a good show only highlighted its flaws, too. In April 2020, NXT moved to Tuesdays - it would do well to revert the simplistic show of old too.
