One of WWE's most popular exports is celebrating a major milestone this weekend - NXT turns 10 years old!
The popular Black and Yellow brand that has brought fans around the world so many thrills, spills and memorable moments since its inception, marks a decade of active competition on 23 February.
A decade ago, Triple H launched what was then a developmental territory and brand to WWE's 'main roster' of RAW and SmackDown.
It has produced major stars like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and countless more. Now, it stands tall and, in the eyes of many, is undisputed as a third brand of WWE rather than simply a feeder territory.
With a national television deal of its own on the USA Network and NXT TakeOver events providing some of the biggest hits on the WWE Network, Triple H and co have plenty of which they can be proud.
