NXT has never been more relevant than it is at the start of 2020.

Since going live on USA Network last October, WWE have given the Full Sail hopefuls fresh prominence. The gold and black group was the big victor at Survivor Series, and although NXT failed to produce a winner last night, it thrust itself into the spotlight and then some.

Whilst the men's only featured Matt Riddle and Keith Lee from the Wednesday outfit, the women's contest boasted twelve superstars from the NXT roster - a higher proportion than either Raw or SmackDown provided. Shayna Baszler just missed out on victory, but nevertheless recorded the best ever Rumble finish from an NXT wrestler.
