Is that a good reason? NXT may be the most unique wrestling promotion in the world and has been for a long time now. In addition to being the WWE’s third television show, it is also the company’s official developmental program. Unfortunately it can be a little tricky to balance those things out, and now we might be seeing a little rebalancing act, with quite a few changes coming through.

Friday night, WWE released thirteen more names from the company, including several wrestlers and a referee. All of the releases came from NXT, with some of them not being television regulars. According to PWInsider.com, this may be part of a series of major changes being made to NXT. Should they be implemented, the changes would see a new look and format for the show, along with a focus on younger wrestlers. There is no word on if or when this will take place.

NXT might need a change, but then again it might not. Check out some of its better moments:

Opinion: I’m not sure what to make of this but I can understand the idea that NXT could use a change. The show has felt rather stale for a long time now and a reset could do it some good. If nothing else, some fresh faces and a new look might be the most helpful, as the show has not changed much over the last few years. This should be interesting, and hopefully it is good as well.
