WWE NXT is the professional wrestling developmental branch for WWE, based in Winter Park, Florida. It was founded by Triple H (Paul Levesque). From its inception in August 2012 to June 2013, it was a distinct but affiliated developmental territory for WWE under the name NXT Wrestling. In June 2013, the NXT Wrestling website was shut down and NXT content was moved to WWE.com. From February 2014, NXT started a series of live special events broadcast on the WWE Network, comparable to main roster pay-per-view shows. Despite its status as a developmental branch, NXT has been praised for its high quality of wrestling, and captivating storylines.〔|promotion = WWE NXT〕 NXT has received praise for the opportunities they afford female wrestlers as opposed to on the main roster, which has led to a change on how women's wrestling is portrayed on WWE's main roster. ==History== In August 2012, WWE ceased operating Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), its developmental promotion in Tampa, Florida, deactivated FCW titles, and began running all of its developmental events and operations at Full Sail University under the "NXT Wrestling" banner. WWE had been using the ''NXT'' name for a television program featuring rookies from FCW competing to become WWE main roster members, though the reality television aspects of the show had been dropped earlier in 2012; ''WWE NXT'' now serves as the primary television program for the promotion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= WWE News: FCW name being phased out )〕 On February 27, 2014, NXT held its first live two hour special event called NXT Arrival, which was also the first live in-ring program broadcast on the WWE Network. Eventually, WWE scheduled more live two-hour special events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_77980.shtml )〕 In 2015, NXT promoted its first live events outside of Florida, with an event that was held in March in Columbus, Ohio. In late February and March 2015, several former NXT trainees previously working within WWE developmental system alleged misconduct by head trainer Bill DeMott, with Judas Devlin and Brandon Traven publicizing complaints which they claimed they had submitted to WWE management about DeMott back in March 2013 when they were still employed with WWE.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92037 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=92051 )〕 Meanwhile, other ex-trainees like Briley Pierce, Derrick Bateman, and independent wrestler Terra Calaway also made allegations in 2015,〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe-news/41510 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://prowrestling.net/article.php?WWE-News-Developmental-head-trainer-is-under-fire-again-41183 )〕 while previous allegations made in 2013 by Chad Baxter and Chase Donovan were also noted. They accused DeMott of making trainees perform dangerous drills,〔 physically assaulting and bullying trainees,〔〔 using homophobic and racial slurs amongst other derogatory terms,〔〔 and condoning sexual harassment.〔 WWE released statements regarding some of the claims that came to light in 2013 and 2015 saying that investigations were done and no wrongdoing was found.〔〔 On March 6, 2015, DeMott denied the allegations but resigned from WWE "to avoid any embarrassment or damage" to the company.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WWE NXT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
