Spoilers in the article

Bo Dallas won the NXT title at the recent May tapings, but officially it hasn't happened until the episode airs. As of the last two aired episodes, Bo won a battle royale for a title shot, then had a contract signing with current champion Big E Langston. Shouldn't we not be listing taping results on this page until the show actually airs? WWE doesn't count Smackdown title changes from when the show is taped either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.15.204 (talk) 05:34, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I've redirected it to Total Divas instead. NiciVampireHeart 17:26, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Subdivision

With the way NXT has grown and gotten a life of it's own, referring to it as a subdivision is more appropriate than merely calling it a "developmental territory", as that role has essentially been taken over by Evolve.

Vjmlhds (talk) 18:42, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

No, NXT still exists principally to develop wrestlers for the main roster. It's developmental. The second paragraph which covers the nature of NXT is sufficient for mentioning that it's better than your average developmental program.

And Evolve is a red herring. It does not have any formal affiliation. There's many Indies that WWE scouts, and works with (Evolve is not the only one holding prelims for the Global Cruiserweight Series). In no way has it replaced NXT as the WWE developmental territory.

Also, "subdivision" means a division of a division (hence the use of the "sub" prefix), and is just the wrong word no matter what. oknazevad (talk) 18:53, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, we're obviously at a stalemate here, so let's get a third voice in here to break the tie. I'll say this though...WWE scouts a lot of indies, but the deal between Evolve and WWE is much more intricate than just "scouting talent". The way it's structured, it goes from Evolve---->NXT---->WWE. Vjmlgds (talk) 21:02, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Agreed, we could use some additional input. That said, the presence of a lower tier of development doesn't mean NXT isn't still development. To continue the baseball analogy I keep using, the presence of a Double-A affiliate (and I don't mean Arn Anderson) doesn't mean a Major League team's Triple-A affiliate isn't also developmental in purpose. Just like NXT. oknazevad (talk) 23:01, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Well I had asked for a third voice...who woulda thought it would be HHH? As per the reference I added in the article, HHH himself has said NXT has grown to the point where it has basically become WWE's 3rd brand (after Raw and Smackdown) If the guy who runs the place says that NXT has gone beyond being merely a "developmental" territory, then that should pretty much seal the deal. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:50, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Raw and SmackDown aren't distinct brands anymore, as the brand extension is dead. That said, he could have been intending to make a a analogy to the brand extension, as NXT does have its own identity. But it's a stretch to consider it equal to the main roster. It remains a step down and exists to prepare people for the main roster. I think the current text, with one tweak, covers it well. oknazevad (talk) 20:16, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Why two articles?

Raw and SmackDown do not have separate articles for their brand and TV show, so why does NXT? --JDC808 ♫ 22:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Can someone fix my mistake

Merger proposal

I propose that WWE Performance Center be merged into WWE NXT. I think that the content in the WWE Performance Center article can easily be explained in the context of WWE NXT, and the WWE NXT article is of a reasonable size that the merging of WWE Performance Center will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Feedback 04:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Oppose. The Performance Center is more than just the training facility for NXT, serving all of WWE, including preparations for last year's Cruiserweight Classic and this year's Mea Young Classic, as well as a general sports medicine center (that is to say, WWE's staff doctors and such) and is available to all on the roster. That's part of the reason it's located in Orlando: many WWE wrestlers live in the Orlando and nearby Tampa Bay metro areas as they have low taxes for independent contractors and well-connected airports. Putting the Performance Center there makes it readily available for those wrestlers, not just the NXT signees. oknazevad (talk) 15:50, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose - Its used for a lot more than just NXT. - Galatz 16:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose Performance Center is independently notable.LM2000 (talk) 05:53, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Developmental territory

I changed the verbiage away from referring to NXT as a "territory", due to it being a globally traveling brand.

Former leagues that WWE used for developmental purposes - such as Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling - are more apt examples of a "territory" as their geographic base is in their name, and didn't travel beyond said base.

Now when NXT did everything at Full Sail, the "territory" description was appropriate... these days - not so much.
