My Take:
- A tough financial loss for WWE. Still, it is out of their control and they will likely make that back in a Saudi Arabia show down the road.
2) Backstage Notes About This Week’s Episode Of NXT
According to Mike Johson of PWInsider, this week’s episode of NXT was completely taped in advance. It also came down to the wire for WWE to get the show edited in time.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
All of the interviews that were featured on last night’s episode of WWE NXT were filmed on Tuesday at the WWE Performance Center.
Triple H and Tom Phillips’ wrap-around segments were shot at WWE’s TV HQ in Stamford.
Once that material was filmed, WWE’s editing team worked with a frenzy to get the episode put together in time for it to air on time on the USA Network. We are told that they were literally down to the wire and got the episode completed 100% not long before they were scheduled to air.
My Take:
- It definitely hurt NXT that there weren’t any live matches. I would have liked to see one or two but I also appreciate WWE being extra careful with their talent. It is a tricky situation so I am going to wait and see what they decide to do.
