#6 WWE NXT (2012-2014)
I went to watch WWE NXT the other day on the Network to see Seth Rollins meteoric rise to superstardom and the start of the NXT Championship. I also wanted to see Bray Wyatt’s humble beginnings and how the production has changed to how it is now.
Imagine my disappointment when I found that it only starts at episode 207! We’re missing the first 206 episodes of NXT and quite frankly, that’s rude.

But in all seriousness, this is something that would be an amazing addition to the Network and something I am most excited to see on there. It’s a great shame it isn’t already there. It shouldn’t take long to be backdated but it does not look likely to happen this year, unfortunately. I do hope I am wrong.
NXT was a TV series before it was the developmental brand for WWE. It was an hour of atrocious television in which each competitor was assigned a pro (interestingly, The Miz was Daniel Bryan’s pro) and was made to compete in demeaning games.
There were some decent highlights and it would be good to get at least the first season so we could see the beginnings of Nexus, but it’s the revised format we’re all waiting for.
I would hope that they categorise the two shows differently when they are both eventually uploaded but we will have to wait and see. With a lot of high profile shows still to be uploaded, it may not be for some time.
