(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - WWE NXT is exclusively shown on the WWE Network and is worth your time, energy and effort to see it. You can see that the WWE will be around for a long time because of the talent pool that is constantly showcased here.

NXT gave you 4 true matches this week and one funny semi-match.  The champ, Shinsuke Nakamura, had a few words for Somoa Joe this episode.  This episode also continued the 2nd Annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament as well.
