With NXT only being an hour long each week and having such an immensely deep roster of talents, a lot of talent isn&#8217;t getting consistent enough TV time to get emotionally connected as perhaps they should. Having a new YouTube platform to create original content &#8211; where it can be seen by everyone &#8211; which highlights the other people working with the NXT Brand, both televised, Live Event only, or still at the PC itself, will help to create a recognition and comfortability with the new budding Superstars. After all, as well known as Matt Riddle is in the indie world, there&#8217;s still a lot of WWE Universe out there that still don&#8217;t really know who he is or what the fuss is about.<\/p>\n<p>Should the Riddle project succeed, it&#8217;s likely many more will\u00a0get similar treatment. <strong>Mia Yim, Keith Lee<\/strong>, and <strong>Chelsea Green<\/strong> would be ideal candidates. In the meantime, here&#8217;s a quick glimpse at some of the short pieces they&#8217;ve uploaded so far from their past few years.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fabian Aichner&#039;s next-level back workout: WWE Performance Center Workouts, May 11, 2018\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vqbk26UHEhg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Superstars play medicine-ball volleyball at the WWE Performance Center\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qq_h6BNrL_g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bianca Blair devours the field at the WWE Performance Center Combine\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oqlbnr1rha8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The WWE Performance Center opened its own separate YouTube channel today, immediately stocking it with past content since the Performance Center&#8217;s opening in 2013, including video blogs from past WWE Tryouts around the world, interviews with new signees, and training videos.
