I thought that they would bring up a couple of FCW guys but not this many. Good on WWE for going full on with this change and giving a lot more developmental guys an opportunity on NXT. Nice mixture of a couple of the former NXT regulars with the FCW guys. I will definitely check out this show when it airs to see what the new version of NXT is like.

JR blogged about his experience.

On the new NXT production: "I do know that if one likes plenty of in ring action that new, NXT will provide it. Yours truly broadcast all four programs working with William Regal, Bryon Saxton and Chris Russo in various incarnations."

Best match of the tapings?: "Several young talents stood out Thursday night but arguably the best match of the night was Tyson Kidd vs. Michael McGillicutty that was recorded early in the evening. This match was outstanding in my view and was one of the best bouts that I've seen on any WWE TV show in the past several weeks."

Love the look and feel as it reminds me of ONS

Getting FCW talent in front of a bigger audience and on National and International TV is a good idea, but I'm just wondering why Cesaro and Sandow were on NXT? I just hope they don't get sent to NXT levels just yet.


It's not 'getting sent down', if anything its a promotion, because nXt is way better than Smackdown.

Mixed feelings on the changes, I liked nXt before when they were using low card wrestlers not getting TV time. If they are gonna flood the show with green ass FCW rookies I'm not keen.

There's always Superstars which will likely be taped as a complete hour before SD with Raw expanding. I could see some of the Redemption roster landing there too

I didn't realise that they were rotating the announce team, good idea if they are keeping JR as the main guy each week and then the other three take turns. I like that those three will be able to get experience working with the best as it will fast track their development.

Does anyone know when the first TV showing will be of this? I presumed it would have been last night on NXT, but nah.

I assume it will be this summer just since they probably want it on tv as it is set to be televised in 60 countries. Summer tv season is weeks away for some networks in the states

Supposedly it's in a few weeks time i've heard. They want to wrap up Redemption before beginning to air this obviously.
