Anyone know what NXT stands for? Seems everything in wrestling stands for something if it's an acronym.
WCW - World CHampionship Wrestling
DX - Degeneration X
nWo - New World Order
JOB Squad = Just Over Broke
bWo - Blue World Order
WWE - Walk With Elias, World Wrestling Entertainment
UPYOURS - Union of People You Recently Screwed (then immediately shortened their name to Union)
NOD - Nation of Domination
LOD - Legion of Doom
ECW - Extreme CHampionship Wrestling
TNA - Total Nonstop Action
2B - Bludgeon Brothers
NXT is the only acronym that doesn't seem to stand for anything. New Xciting Talent?

I don't think it was ever intended to be an acronym so much as it is a stylistic take on the word "next". I'm sure we'd have all come around to "WWE Next" being something of a normalcy in time, but "NXT" just fits established convention better.

Yeah for sure not an acronym. Just used as the NEXT "NXT" WWE Superstars. Aka from the original show that took over after ECW went off the air. It morphed into what it is now.

But I’ve always thought maybe they came up with the name cause NXT and the word Next (obviously. There’s a one letter difference. Lol) are so similar. It’d make sense since it’s the next generation of wrestlers in wwe.

It’s called NXT because that’s where the NeXT talent that Vince will bury comes from.

It’d make sense since it’s the next generation of wrestlers in wwe. And the fact Vince can trademark NXT. Probably couldn't trademark NEXT. |

Only 3 of the current champions didn’t come from NXT or the CWC...
But yup, Vince is burying them all. 🙄
