Reviewing Wednesday night’s episode of WWE NXT, which returned to Full Sail University.

On Wednesday night, WWE NXT returned to Full Sail University for the first time in two weeks. It came after a one-week stay at the Freeman Coliseum for NXT TakeOver: San Antonio (the show took place before the event). That show didn’t push much toward the ongoing storylines in NXT, so it was a bit of a throwaway.

One week later, things have kicked off for TakeOver: Orlando, which takes place in less than two months already. The build for the show didn’t get thrown in the fan’s faces on Wednesday, but we saw the beginning of what’s potentially going to come at the Amway Center.

An interesting development would occur with the NXT Tag Team Division. The Revival had called out whoever won the NXT Tag Team Championship at TakeOver: San Antonio to a title match, so they looked to follow up on this. What would they say to the Authors of Pain? Did they lay out a challenge for the championship to be on the line?

Bobby Roode would make his first appearance since defeating Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship. He had plenty to say, but would Nakamura be able to show up after suffering a knee injury?

This would be a SAnitY-centric show with Eric Young, Killian Dain, Alexander Wolfe, and Nikki Cross playing significant roles. Would they all wrestle? How did they fare?

All this and more can be seen in our review of Wednesday night’s episode of WWE NXT.
