NXT has become an entity of its own over the past week since the developmental brand was able to make quite the impression on their debut on the USA Network last week.

Whilst last week lifted the NXT brand to new heights, this week continued a number of other storylines as the company now builds towards Takeover: War Games in November, but now that NXT is streamed live, many botches can no longer be re-recorded.

NXT has been pre-recorded since 2012 and has been presented on the WWE Network 2014 onwards. This means that botches have been ironed out in post-production but now that the show is live there is no room for error.

However, there were a few interesting errors this week on NXT as the brand continues to readjust to their new home on the USA Network.


#3 Graphic botch

Keith Lee kicked off NXT this week as he took on Dominik Dijakovic in the opening bout of the night, a match that WWE obviously saw as a clash of two heavyweights since there was a graphic that compared both men to each other and stated that Dijakovic had the advantage physically and later pick up the much needed win.

The issue was that the graphic shouldn't have been shown until the two men were in the ring, but someone in the truck must have pressed the wrong button since the graphic fashed up for a second during Keith Lee's entrance.

The graphic also stated that Lee was 6ft 3in, but throughout the match, Mauro Ranallo claimed that Lee was actually 6ft 2in, so it's hard to tell which one is actually wrong or if Ranallo was just given the wrong information for the match.

#2 Scripted promo botch

Cathy Kelley has been a backstage interviewer for WWE for a number of years, but she has moved back to NXT in recent months and is now the main announcer for the brand since she has been spotted on both shows since the brand debuted on the USA Network.

Despite being someone who is experienced in the art of broadcasting, Kelley showed this week that even the professionals make mistakes since she managed to trip over her lines when she was talking about the USA Network.

It's entirely feasible that she is still getting used to the fact that NXT is not only on the WWE Network now, but she still had to correct herself after she almost claimed that Kushida's match would be streamed on the NXT Network later in the night.

The commentary team tripped over their words many times throughout the show as well with Nigel McGuiness mispronouncing names and then tripping over the easiest of words, so it appears that it could be a learning curve for the entire announce team following the switch to USA.

#1 Wrestling botch

NXT is now streamed live on the USA Network since SmackDown will switch over to FOX next week and USA needed to fill the void. The fact that the brand is now streamed live means that there is no room for error and botches can no longer be edited out.

Throughout the night, there were a number of shaky moments in numerous matches, especially in the main event six-man tag team match between Imperium, Breezandgo, and Kushida.

The biggest match of the night came at the beginning of the show when Keith Lee took on Dominik Dijakovic. Lee stumbled and almost fell when the two-men ran the International spot in the opening stages of the match before Dijakovic looked to counter a suplex into a small package but the two men hadn't thought about their ring positioning before locking in the initial suplex attempt.

Lee rolled into the ropes so that the referee was unable to count the pin and Dijakovic was then forced to break up the pin but he did it in a way that made it obvious that this wasn't supposed to happen.
