    Latest On Brooks Jensen After Being Kicked Out Of WWE NXT Tampa Live Event

    NXT Superstar Brooks Jensen may have shared his contact information for non-WWE bookings, but don’t expect to see him competing at your local independent show. 

    Jensen shared a contact e-mail for promoters interested in working with him on his Twitter account this week as well as the message “You know how this goes.” Naturally, this led many to believe that Jensen had left WWE, either through his own volition or as a result of being released from NXT. 

    Latest On Brooks Jensen

    Jensen may be teasing a departure from WWE but that hasn’t happened, Fightful Select reports. Sources in NXT were admittedly uncertain about his future with WWE NXT given his recent behavior. A creative source made clear that Brooks’ social media posts have been a storyline and that Brooks has been present at several tapings in recent weeks. 

    Jensen, the son of WWE alum Bull Buchanan, sneaked into the crowd for a recent WWE NXT Level Up taping, which was shared on social media by fans. One WWE talent told Fightful they hope that Jensen’s attitude must be a storyline as he is one of the most hardworking wrestlers they had come across in the industry.

    Brooks Jensen caused a stir at a recent NXT live event.

    Despite his ‘exit’ from WWE NXT, Jensen appeared in the crowd at the May 31 NXT live event in Tampa, Florida. Jensen had a sign reading ‘Bret Would Book Better,’ a nod to The Hitman’s long-time rival Shawn Michaels being the Head of NXT. Jensen was confronted by security at the event and the matter escalated to the point that Jensen was removed from the venue.

    What’s to Come? 

    This is certainly an interesting way for WWE to build Brooks Jensen up. Fans can expect the story to become a part of NXT programming soon and has been compared to Grayson Waller’s previous storyline with Shawn Michaels. Given the success of the Aussie Icon in WWE since then (including a current reign as WWE Tag Team Champion) this angle may be exactly what Jensen needs to take his career to the next level.

  • WWE Taking NXT Live Each Week?

    WWE Taking NXT Live Each Week?

    With the continued success of WWE NXT, there have been preliminary talks about taking the brand’s WWE Network show live on a weekly basis. The news comes courtesy of Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. The move would involve several logistical hurdles, most notably the added cost of talent coordination and shooting another live weekly show. There is also some skepticism regarding how much of an impact the move would have on Network subscribers. WWE currently tapes 3-4 weeks of NXT television from Full Sail University every month or so and there are risks associated with altering this formula.

    There’s no doubt that 2016 was a banner year for NXT. In addition to the group holding live events in new markets domestically and internationally, the quarterly Takeover specials have become one of the highlights of WWE’s “big 4” weekends. Tickets go on sale this Friday for the first #NXTRoadTrip of 2017 and the next NXT Takeover event is scheduled for Royal Rumble weekend.
