And even though we’ve seen it before, just go and watch this episode.Here are the 5 points to note from this weeks show-

#5 The Story that kicked off 2015

Owens debuted in the December of 2014 and immediately kicked off his feud with best friend Sami Zayn. Former best friend, is the right term now. Owens waited for a WWE call up for 14 years and finally when he did make it he did not want to wait at the back of the line for the NXT Championship.

He came with a plan and it worked out very well. Zayn was decimated but like the true babyface he is, he never gave up. Owens won the championship within two months of his arrival to NXT and took the wrestling world by storm.

This feud is extremely relevant to NXT gaining credibility and having better storytelling opportunities. This feud established why NXT should be followed more and more.
