WWE's NXT will air its February 25, 2015 episode on the WWE Network tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern and will continue to build the storylines featuring Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and the like.
Last week, new NXT Champion Owens told new No. 1 Contender Finn Balor to name the time and the place for a fight. Balor started to talk about the champ during a backstage interview, but the returning Rhyno came in and stared down the artist formerly known as Prince Devitt. So in which direction will Balor go tonight? Will he try to dispatch Rhyno before moving onto the champion? Or will he completely ignore the ECW star and turn his attention to Owens?
Zayn did not appear last week in order to sell the beating Owens gave him at NXT: Takeover Rival. Zayn has a legitimate claim to a rematch, but will he get to face his former friend again? Or is the fan favorite's run as NXT Champion over after just two months?
Adrian Neville lost to Owens last week but remarked that he wants to go on the hunt now that he is out of the NXT Championship picture. Which wrestler could the Man That Gravity Forgot target tonight?
Sasha Banks is the new NXT Women's Champion, but which female fighter will step up to challenge her for the belt? Could it be Bayley, or Becky Lynch, or Charlotte?
THE Brian Kendrick also returns on tonight's NXT.
For those of you who are hoping that NXT is building toward an NXT Championship match at WrestleMania 31, Sami Zayn may have some bad news for you. Here's what the fan favorite had to say to the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show recently.
"Part of NXT's appeal to me especially amongst people like yourself, like you're saying lifelong wrestling fans who are sort of like discovering NXT and being like 'Wait, this is the kind of wrestling I used to like' or 'I like this.' It's succinct. It's an hour-long, you've got some great wrestlers, and you've got great storytelling, and it's simple and it's gritty.
"While at the same time, it's so funny people forget it's PG. It's a PG product, but it's so real and gritty and people almost lose sight of that. The whole point I'm trying to get at is it's sort of carved out its own little niche within this giant wrestling company that is the WWE. We've almost carved out our own underground following, it almost has a cult following, which is so strange to say because it's part of the world's biggest wrestling company.
"So, I think if you were to have an NXT World Championship Match at WrestleMania while obviously for me personally I would be a huge thrill, I don't think you can necessarily capture the magic of what NXT is and really harness it and put it on full display for the world to understand it, on such a grand scale like that."
...
"When you take the product out of its environment and throw it on a grand stage I think it would lose something there."
