WWE’s Live Events are great experiences for a multitude of reasons. You get fun one-offs that wouldn’t make it on TV (like Triple H<\/strong> joining The Shield<\/strong>) and wrestlers get more time to work their matches and use moves not normally allowed on TV. But it’s also where they road test new gimmicks and ideas for upcoming TV. NXT is no different. Last year, they played around with an idea for new stable<\/a> that was lead by Marcel Barthel<\/strong> (formerly wXw’s Axel Dieter Jr.<\/strong>) with Donovan Dijak<\/strong> and Fabian Aichner<\/strong> that’s still being tweaked as recent as Thursday as well.<\/p>\n

But on Thursday night at an NXT Live Event in St. Petersburg, Florida, an all-South American faction debuted. Given that the WWE is looking to expand into the South American market (Brazil and Chile have huge wrestling markets), building some South American presence would make total sense.<\/p>\n
