Folks, it’s happening. WWE has officially decided that fans don’t need rest, responsibilities, or social lives. Instead, they’ve launched the NXT Vault on YouTube, uploading full episodes, TakeOver events, and enough wrestling content to ensure your productivity plummets.
This comes amid swirling questions about WWE’s video library, thanks to their shiny new Netflix deal and the uncertainty surrounding Peacock after their contract expires next March. But fear not! WWE has solved the problem the same way most of us do when we don’t know what to do with old videos—they dumped them all on YouTube.
After quietly launching in November, the NXT Vault has exploded in the past day, with 57 new videos dropping faster than a Baron Corbin push. Fans can now relive classic “NXT” episodes from its 2012 reboot, legendary TakeOver events like NXT ArRival, R Evolution, Brooklyn, and Chicago, and even the Undisputed Era vs. Team Ciampa WarGames match from 2019—a bout so chaotic it makes your family Thanksgiving look tame.
This move also provides a new home for old “NXT” episodes after they mysteriously vanished from Peacock following “NXT’s” move to The CW. While newer PLEs will remain on Peacock (for now), WWE seems determined to make sure the black-and-gold era lives on—one YouTube binge session at a time.
So grab your snacks, cancel your plans, and prepare to go down the wrestling rabbit hole. Just don’t blame WWE when your boss asks why your report is late.
