On last week's episode NXT, William Regal claimed that he would be making a "landscape changing" announcement for the brand. The General Manager has since said that there will be a second announcement on this week's show.
There has been much speculation in regards to what William Regal will announce for NXT this week. The claim by Regal was made following the Women's Tag Team Championship match, so a lot of fans have been suspecting that it is likely that this will be something to do with the women's division.
Currently, the NXT women's division is full of huge talent, and even more women have joined the brand recently, with the roster being bigger than ever.

As the March 10th edition of NXT draws closer, here are five things that William Regal's "landscape changing" announcement could be.
#5 William Regan could announce an NXT Women's Championship tournament
As signs seem to be pointing to a big announcement for the women's division, an NXT Women's Championship tournament could be an option. Io Shirai has been the titleholder for some time now. Although she is currently feuding with Toni Storm, William Regal may want to shake things up slightly for the women's division on the Black and Gold Brand.
This tournament could be not just for current NXT Superstars, but also for the company's new signings. To make things even more exciting, Regal could choose to involve women from RAW, SmackDown and even possibly NXT UK may join in.
An NXT Women's Championship tournament could be a great way to involve more stars in the title scene and bring more women to the forefront. It would also be a way to introduce new talent to the audience and even give overlooked women on the main roster more time to shine.
#4 Could there be a new women's mid-card title coming to NXT?
Currently, there is only one Women's Championship on the Black and Gold brand, compared to the men having the NXT Championship, North American Championship, and the Tag Team Championships to compete for. Having only one Women's Championship when the female roster is larger than ever can make the title scene feel somewhat cluttered, with too many stars vying for one championship.
Following recent news that multiple women from across the independent wrestling scene have signed to WWE, the roster has become even bigger. It feels like the time is right for NXT to introduce a new women's championship.
Bringing a mid-card women's title to NXT would be a fantastic way to give more attention to the women's division on the Black and Gold brand and boost more talent, including the new stars coming to the show. Having a women's mid-card championship on NXT would also give the women equal time on upcoming PPV events.
#3 Will there be an all-women NXT TakeOver soon?
On the last episode of NXT, while William Regal talked about the upcoming announcement, the General Manager was stood in front of a WWE Evolution poster. Some fans have taken it as a signpost towards what will be unveiled this week.
Given the level and amount of talent in the women's division currently, it would be easy to fill the card with women's matches for an NXT TakeOver card. Over the past few years, the women of NXT have been given more of an equal opportunity to shine at PPV events, with them headlining major NXT TakeOvers and also becoming a part of the annual WarGames PPV.
With the women's NXT roster bigger than it ever has been, and even more talent set to debut soon, an all-women TakeOver would be a great way to introduce new talent to fans. This will also give less prominent women on the Black and Gold Brand the time, and opportunity to shine on TV in front of a large audience.
#2 Will there be an NXT Women's Tag Team Championship?
Something that has been widely speculated recently is the introduction of an NXT Women's Tag Team Championship. An NXT Women's Tag Team Championship would make sense, as the women of the Black and Gold Brand have recently competed in the first-ever women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, with the team of Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez defeating Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart in the finals.
There are multiple teams cropping up on NXT, with many coming from the inaugural women's Dusty Classic tournament. It would be great to see these teams thriving in the future in the women's tag team division.
The announcement being a reveal of the Women's Tag Team Championships would fit with William Regal pre-empting this following the title match between Kai and Gonzalez and Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax on last week's show.
NXT Women's Tag Team Championships would be a welcome addition to the Black and Gold brand and would be a great way to bring the women of the brand to level footing with the men.
#1 Could Evolution 2 be announced on NXT?
Fans of NXT spotted that on last week's show, William Regal was stood in front of the Evolution poster where he discussed his forthcoming announcement that would be "landscape changing" for the Black and Gold brand.
Evolution was WWE's first-ever, and currently, only all-women pay-per-view. It was an event that went down well with fans, and featured appearances from WWE legends Trish Stratus and Lita, a Last Woman Standing match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship and a headline RAW Women's Championship match between Nikki Bella and Ronda Rousey.
Despite fans constantly asking for a follow-up to Evolution, it has still not happened. A second installment of Evolution would be a great celebration of women in WWE, who have been somewhat pushed to the sidelines on RAW and SmackDown recently. Thone women's title match on the most recent WWE pay-per-view, Elimination Chamber.
Evolution 2 would be an opportunity for the women of RAW, SmackDown, and NXT to come together to showcase their talent on a larger stage.
