When RAW was in Pittsburgh back in March I was disappointed I did not pop on $90 floor seats.

Having sat on that floor for Royal Rumble 2014 I was chomping at the bit for more action but ultimately decided against it since Raw is a lot less action than a PPV and about half filler. It turned out I made a good decision since it mostly center around Randy Orton’s return, peppered in a great Paul Heyman promo, and a weird Wiz Khalifa performance.

Fast forward a month and a half an the preeminent WWE reporter, Pittsburgh’s own Justin LaBar broke the news that NXT, the division of WWE that still wrestles, will have a show in June at Stage AE.

This is the show to cough the dough up for. Start to finish it features established guys trying to grab that brass ring and make enough of an impression to move on to the next level, the grand stage at WWE.
