TEN-XT: A WWE NXT History Podcast

In this, our potentially penultinate episode, three Brits revisit NXT's first visit to London town. It's NXT Takeover: London, featuring Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor, Bayley vs Nia Jax and Enzo + Cass's shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships. Did this show reach the heights on Big Ben? Or did it stink like the Thames? Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast. Three lifelong f...

We return to Full Sail to revisit the now decade-old Takeover: Respect. But with the dust(y) now having well and truly settled, is this event what we remember? Bayley and Sasha make history in the main event, in an Iron Man rematch from Brooklyn. Asuka makes her debut, and Chad Gable is over as all hell. But let's find out which tag team will win this tag team tournament...  Welcome to TEN-XT, an...

It's time to revisit a legendary match at a first-of-its-kind Takeover. We leave the smarky shores of Full Sail, and venture to the Big Apple for a night of sexy buildings, Japanese legends, Stephanie McMahon, demons, ladders and the Crew from the Apollo space missions... All this and more as we go back in time to Brooklyn 2015. Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast....

We take a break from Takeovers, and follow Finn Balor overseas, as he returns to Japan to face Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship. Chris Jericho and Adrian Neville have a dream match to get us started. And the titular Beast battles Kofi Kingston. Revisit this decade-old special event with us, we watch half hour John Cena matches so you don't have to Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WW...

An injured Sami Zayn and Hideo Itami makes for our first lul in a hot streak of Takeovers. But Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch save the show by putting on an incredibly physical match. The part of Bull Dempsey is now played by Rhyno. And Cass tosses Enzo off while Enzo is unconscious... Also, DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN!? (Sat next to Payton Royce) If so please email us @ tenxtpod@gmail.com Welcome to TEN-XT...

We couldn't wait until Takeover: Unstoppable, so we're back with a deep-dive into John Cena's US Open Challenge. We review the entire timeline, and take a closer look at some of the matches that featured iconic NXT talent. Mainly so as to keep this podcast feed on-brand. Join us for this lookback at some of John Cena's most iconic matches, as he faces Sami Zayn, Neville, Cesaro, Kevin Owens and Se...

We're back! And we've entered our "Bangerz" era. Only Takeover reviews, only bangers from here on out. We review TakeOver: Rival, an event that featured Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn for the first time in WWE. As well as the only Four Horsewomen fatal-4-way in history (so far...)

It's the end of the TEN-XT weekly release era, and we go out with a bang bang! *Foley fingerguns* Join us for a review of the Christmas 2014 episode, as well as a journey into our annals entires for 2014/2024, before we hand out our awards for best and worst of the year.

We review our final full episode of NXT weekly TV, before we move into our Takeover and special episodes only era in 2025 (and beyond!) We play a lot of our favorite jingles, get a little loose, and one of us derails the episode in favor of aliens and that. Guess who? We also chat about Kevin Owens vs Adrian Neville, Becky Lynch vs Bayley and a few squatch matches that we've already forgotten. Pro...

We've made it to Takeover: R Evolution, a night that sees an 18-month story come to an end, as an old friend emerges to start new problems for Sami Zayn. It's a night of demons, of exceeding expectations and of staying true to yourself. So many classic NXT moments in this one, join us as we revisit a classic. Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to  tenxtpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an offic...

It's the go-home show for Takeover: R Evolution, and only Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville seem to have remembered. Also Bayley, even though she isn't booked. Finn Balor promises to bring something next week. And Kevin Owens continues to tease his debut at the network special. So we're just kind of edging until next week, will you edge with us? Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to  tenxtpod@gmail....

We get sidetracked with a quiz about aliens, in the middle of a return to bad form for NXT. Not only are storylines not advancing, they're also not making sense. Just two weeks out from R-Evolution. Tyson Kidd and Finn Balor manage to save us a bit in the main event. But Blue Pants has more face heat than Carmella. And Tyler Breeze is telling people they'll never be loved. So yeah, aliens! Email y...

...There's micro wrestling on NXT Sami Zayn makes an offer to Adrian Neville in our main event segment. Baron Corbin and Bull Dempsey begin a battle to become NXT's monster. And Charlotte is Bayley's mother, apparently.  Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast.

Sami Zayn's road to redemption comes to it's final stop, a match with Adrian Neville for the NXT Championship. Alexa Bliss has her best match so far against Sasha Banks. Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake showcase a lot of talent against the Lucha Dragons. And Finn Balor and Hideo Itami team-up to face Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel. Look at all of those classic NXT names. This is one of the best classi...

Sami Zayn's road to redemption passes through Cuteville, as he faces Tyler Breeze in a number one contender's match for the NXT Championship. The Four Horsewomen mix it up, but not as much as we'd like. And Finn Balor makes his debut alongside Hideo Itami, to stomp the heck out of The Ascension, and look good whilst doing it. Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to...

We kick things off with a surprise Tag Team Battle Royal. Carmella and Emma pantomime in a showcase for the former. We get over the final speedbump on Sami Zayn's Road to Redemption, with Sami vs Titus 2. And Justin Gabriel has a stand-out performance, according to one of us at least.

Mojo Rawley gives us the worst acting performance in the history of visual media. Titus O'Neil has yet another main event spot. Hideo Itami still can't figure out how to beat The Ascension 1v2. Sasha Banks and Bayley have their 10th NXT singles match. But hey, at least the tag division is looking strong (well, prolific)  Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-X...

Carmella makes her NXT in-ring debut, which means so does Blue Pants! Sami Zayn gets his road to redemption back on track against Tyson Kidd in the main event. Becky Lynch and Charlotte have a good match. And Marcus Louis disbands The Legionairres because of hot shame. Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast....

With Titus (Tits) O'Neil being featured in our worst main event yet, we once again return the Doldrums of NXT History. Becky Lynch returning to action and having a good match with Sasha Banks, saves this from being the worst episode of NXT ever. William Regal has a fun interaction with the Certified G's, and Hideo Itami possibly gets a concussion in his 2nd WWE match. Email your thoughts about NXT...

Tyson Kidd gets his last chance match for the NXT Championship. By the way, did we mention this was Tyson Kidd's last chance? The Vaudevillains attempt a heel turn but achieve the opposite. Bayley gets another shot at Charlotte. And Enzo Amore sexually assaults Carmella (in kayfabe). Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT hi...

A main event of Takeover rematch of The Ascension vs The Lucha Dragons, is about the only sliver of light in an otherwise dark episode of NXT. Confused booking runs us in circles, Alexa Bliss and Bayley have some fun. And two title matches are made for next week. At least we got to see Regal being silly backstage. Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an o...

Titus O'Neil threatens our post-Takeover glow, but only one of us is deluminated. Hideo Itami makes his official in-ring debut, so we shine a little spotlight on his career pre-NXT. Charlotte looks strong and Baron Corbin gets an entrance. Also, aliens! Email your thoughts about NXT in 2014 to TENXTpod@gmail.com! Welcome to TEN-XT, an officially unofficial WWE:NXT history podcast. Three lifelong f...

We're finally here, one of our most cherished NXT memories, THE Fatal 4 Way. But was it as excellent as we remembered? Charlotte continues to step-up in a title defense against the ever-popular Bayley. Also, The Lucha Dragons get their shot at The Ascension.  KENTA makes his first official WWE appearance. Baron Corbin makes his "NXT debut", despite the fact we've seen this man 8+ times. BullJo set...

It's time for our Go-Home show for our third (second, technically) Takeover - Takeover: Fatal Foursome. Triple H offers us the most boring booking imaginable, four singles matches and four promos to go with the upcoming fourway. Charlotte also warms up against Alexa Bliss, ahead of her match with Bayley. And the tag-title tournament finals take place, but the winners don't really connect with the...

William Regal is named General Manager of NXT, and long may he reign. In this very special episode of TEN-XT, the lads recorded together in the same room for the first time in over two years! Matt visited the UK for the first time since 2019, and what better way to spend a vacation than a bit of in-person podcasting (work) Also in this episode, the main event of Takeover is announced and we get a...
