Interesting times are right around the corner for WWE fans. While storylines inside the company are destined to get better and more engaging, other fan-related news has also taken the world of professional wrestling by surprise. These developments will not only increase the hype around the company but also create long-awaited changes.

One of these rumours is centered around Bray Wyatt, the self-styled head of the infamous Wyatt family. Wyatt, who would have turned 38 this year, and his legacy will be celebrated not just by the WWE but by 2k25 now. Other than that, an important decision has been made in Nxt, which will have far-reaching consequences in the company.

Zeremiah “Zz” Loupe, the Tough Enough 2015 runner-up who gained a fan following for his colorful character, entertaining promos, and fondness for alligator wrestling, made his in-ring debut with WWE’s Nxt brand Saturday night in Orlando, Fl.

Zz defeated Nxt competitor Christopher Girard, a skilled competitor who previously competed on the independent scene as Biff Busick.

Though the eliminations and, ultimately, the winners of last season’s Tough Enough were left entirely up to a fan vote, many viewers accused WWE of stacking the deck against Zz. Despite his young age and verbal skills, Zz’s body and athletic ability weren’t in line with WWE’s usual preferences, so to some, it seemed as if the show’s producers were subtly trying to manipulate fans into voting for other contestants.

Despite that, Zz still made it to the finals,...

Ever since its founding in 2010, Evolve has been one of the premier independent wrestling organizations in the country. Founded and run by former Ring of Honor booker Gabe Sapolsky, the company quickly built its reputation on delivering top-level in-ring action and putting emphasis on wins and losses. Evolve has thrived for the past six years, but in 2015 it reached a new high – the company began working in tandem with WWE.

Though the full relationship between Evolve and WWE is unknown to outside parties, the cooperation has already borne fruit for both sides. WWE has sent Nxt talents Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, and Jason Jordan to Evolve shows to make appearances, boosting the independent promotion’s ticket sales. Likewise, Evolve has allowed talent to compete on Nxt shows, and in one case, has even given a fledgling talent work and experience at WWE’s request.

As badly as things have been lately, WWE deserves a bit of credit. Despite frequently (and rightfully) accused of being out of touch with what fans want, the company’s decision-makers have managed to create a separate brand with an independent, cutting-edge feel – and the results have been amazing. Since debuting (and especially since getting airtime on the WWE Network), developmental brand Nxt has become a phenomenon among wrestling fans, selling out arenas and introducing its own standard for in-ring action.

Later this month, the brand will be embarking on its first-ever UK tour, complete with a live TakeOver special from London. Add that to the imminent television debuts of former independent talents Rich Swann and Biff Busick, and the future looks bright for Nxt.

Still, things aren’t perfect – over the course of its short history, Nxt has faced some serious issues. Some have been all but swept under the rug,...
