That’s what’s up next. We are closing in on the end of the year and that means a lot of people are getting into the holiday season. This includes WWE as well, as the company has several things to take care of before the year is closed out. At the same time though, WWE is going to want to give its wrestlers a break from some of their regular shows, and that is what they covered this week.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Did What? More On Huge Upset This Week On AEW Dynamite
WWE taped the next two episodes of NXT TV this week in anticipation of the holidays.

There is also the chance that more material could be added into the shows.
They’re coming off some big shows. Check out this week’s NXT:
Opinion: This is one of the better ideas that NXT could have had as there is little reason to run live shows so close to Christmas. Let the wrestlers have some time off, but also don’t count on fans showing up to the events. There is little reason to believe that there would be a ton of interest in these shows, so get them out of the way early and let the wrestlers have some time off instead.
