7. New Arena For The Show
A fresh setting can do wrestling shows the world of good and this week was no different, when NXT went from Full Sail to the CFE Arena at the University of Central Florida. With thousands in attendance and a lot of new fans who don't get a chance to attend the regular tapings at Full Sail, there was a buzz evident during this episode for a lot of the performers, since these fans don't get a chance to see a TV taping too often. While you could've heard a pin drop when Cameron came out, for the rest of the show, the crowd were pretty loud and into most of the action. They enjoyed chanting "You Can't Wrestle" at Cameron and Eva Marie, and were invested in the main event while watching two best friends who happen to be fan favourites battling it out for the championship. At points throughout the episode when the camera would pan across the arena, you'd be reminded that the crowd here is over ten times the amount of people that attend a regular NXT TV taping, which gave the show a much grander feel than your average weekly episode.
