Since its metamorphosis from a stifling warehouse entitled Florida Championship Wrestling to its current avatar, NXT has become an accomplished brand in its own right. Having shed the tag of being the WWE’s developmental league, NXT has an impressive following despite being a throwback to the regional promotion that the WWE was in its infancy.

NXT has its own showcase events titled TakeOvers, the latest of which will be held on June 8th. The card is muscly, with Finn Balor attempting to reclaim his championship belt from Samoa Joe in the promotion's first-ever steel cage match, Women's Champion Asuka pitting her craft against Nia Jax's power and international Shinsuke Nakamura facing veteran Austin Aries.
Triple H, the man credited with being the jet engine behind NXT, recently tweeted this:
With the WWE announcing the brand split on July 19th and the Draft on July 11th , could this mean the final chapter of this bestseller?
