#2 Major backstage tension at WWE NXT

WrestleVotes has reported that the mood during this week's edition of WWE NXT was not good at all. Multiple NXT superstars including Bronson Reed and Bobby Fish were released by WWE on August 6th. It has also been rumored that Vince McMahon wants to completely rebrand the black and gold brand.

These factors have led to a lot of tension and unhappiness in the roster of NXT. Reportedly, the tension was palatable at NXT backstage this week.

The mood at the PC today ahead of tonight’s NXT show…. hooooooo boy. Tensions running high to say the least.

The current plan is to make NXT a developmental show featuring young talent who can become future main-eventers instead of a 'third brand'.
