Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for another exciting episode of NXT! Same Bat-time, same bat-channel, but now with an all-new and improved bat-filming location.

Yes after debuting the glorious CWC for TakeOver31, Enextee completed a permanent move there this week as it waved goodbye to Full Sail. A move that, under normal circumstances would have caused an uproar but, in the context of pro-wrestling's new normal, barely even registered as a news story. Also, "Full Sail"? "Wave goodbye"? Thank you.

There was very little in the way of pre-announced entertainment this week though, with only Kushida and Ciampa really getting any traction on social media in the day's prior. Ember Moon's return was destined to be the talking point though, and we eagerly awaited news on the health or otherwise of Finn Balor and Kyle O'Reilly.

Regardless though, it's a new dawn of sorts for a brand that was arguably starting to need one. With a stellar TakeOver behind us, fresh angles and new rivalries are the order of business, and NXT just loves to throw things together. Let's tuck in.
