WWE is all about getting attention for their NXT brand. This is a big reason why main roster Superstars are making their way to the developmental brand. Now, a two-week special is coming for fans, and it could be a game changer.
Seth Rollins showed up on NXT this week via a video message. He accepted Bron Breakker’s challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. That will go down next week.
Shawn Michaels tweeted out during NXT that Gold Rush will start next week. Both weeks will see huge main events.
NXT Gold Rush – A two week NXT TV Special – @bronbreakkerwwe vs. @WWERollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Title main events NEXT WEEK!
Winner of tonight’s @BaronCorbinWWE/@UNBESIEGBAR_ZAR faces @Carmelo_WWE for the NXT Championship in TWO WEEKS! #WWENXT
Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin were already set to do battle in the main event of NXT this week. Now, their match has even bigger implications, because it is suddenly a #1 contender match.
This makes sense, because WWE just copyrighted “Gold Rush.” It was assumed that they were creating a new event.
We will have to see how things pan out on NXT Gold Rush. For more information, stay tuned with us here at Ringside News.
