– WWE returns to Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida this evening for a set of NXT television tapings. With Tommaso Ciampa having just undergone neck surgery but still holding the NXT World Championship and the big WrestleMania 35 weekend NXT TakeOver special coming up, it will be interesting to see how things are handled from a creative standpoint. If anyone is attending tonight’s NXT TV tapings, we are looking for reports, photos and any other notes from the show @MattBoone1984.

Thanks for broadening my views on what wrestling can be and do. And thanks for picking up Tony’s phone call! (Sorry in advance for all my tweets and knee jerk decisions that tend to infuriate you my friend) pic.twitter.com/IuSXEOmArh
