William Regal announced on this week's show that 8 Superstars from the black and yellow brand would compete in a tournament to crown the next breakout star. Anyone who's watched wrestling outside the WWE will be familiar with these names.
I've had the pleasure of interviewing the likes of Trevor Lee and DJZ before this, and it's cool to see them in NXT. Both of these not-so-gentlemen have new names now and it'll be interesting to see how they're presented in NXT.

It's also very cool to see Shane Strickland in the mix, and some of you may recognize him as Killshot from Lucha Underground. The next generation of NXT talent is absolutely stacked and ready to go!
I also think that it's cool that the winner of the tournament gets an automatic title shot, which should make him a star right away!
