WWE
is making some serious moves that could change the future of
NXT
. Fans were expecting a big NXT show in Tampa after Battleground, but WWE has changed that plan. At the same time, there is exciting news about the long-awaited
NXT Europe
.
WWE seems to be working on big things, both in the U.S. and in Europe.
The next episode of NXT was first planned to happen at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. But WWE has now canceled that event. They didn't say why, but only around 1,700 tickets were given out, and the venue holds almost 10,000 people. Instead, the show will now take place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. This is the usual location for many NXT shows.
WWE plans to start NXT Europe soon
The bigger news is about NXT Europe. WWE had spoken about starting it back in 2022 after NXT UK ended. But nothing happened for a long time. Now, reports from
PWInsider Elite
say WWE is finally working hard on it and wants to launch NXT Europe by the end of 2025.
WWE has been spending time and money to find new wrestlers across Europe. This shows that they are serious about starting the new brand. Triple H and Shawn Michaels are said to be in charge of this plan.

It's not clear yet where NXT Europe will be based, it could be Germany, France, Spain, or another country.
Starting NXT Europe will give young wrestlers from Europe a chance to perform in their own countries. WWE has done this before with NXT UK, and it worked well. Stars like
Rhea Ripley
,
Gunther
,
Tyler Bate
, and Toni Storm started there and are now big names.
Triple H
said earlier that he still believes in the idea of NXT Europe and thinks it has a bright future.
The pandemic may have delayed things, but now the plan is moving forward again. WWE already does many live shows in the UK and other parts of Europe, so this new brand could be a great success.
Florida NXT show back at the Performance Center
Back in the U.S.,
WWE
is now focusing on the NXT episode after Battleground. It was supposed to be in Tampa, along with other shows like RAW and Battleground. But the NXT event didn't sell as many tickets, so WWE canceled it.
During this week's NXT show, commentator Vic Joseph announced that the new episode will be filmed at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
When NXT is not traveling, this is where most of their shows are taped.
This change might help WWE focus better on its next steps. The Performance Center is where many top WWE stars are trained. Now, as WWE prepares for a big future with NXT Europe, the company is making smart moves on both sides of the world.

First Indian rock band on America's Got Talent is from Northeast
Growing up in Sikkim's Gangtok on a steady diet of gritty tunes and razor-sharp riffs by pioneering hard rock icons like The Eagles and Guns N' Roses and local rock talent like CRAB and Still Waters, members of the four-piece Girish and The Chronicles never concerned themselves with conforming to India's mainstream music scene — one that is often dominated by film music and represented abroad through Indian classical music. The band, instead, for the last 16 years, doubled down on a sound that was unmistakably rooted in classic Western hard rock and metal. But even for a band which built its identity on a genre far away from typical national temper and trends, they never factored in America's Got Talent: one of the most popular TV shows in the world. Their breakout moment on the show's Season 20 last week: a roaring performance of Adele's 'Set fire to the rain' in the audition round knocked the socks off of the frenzied audience and judges — Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Howie Mandel and Mel B — not expecting an Indian rock band to perform actual hard rock. Just as the band flung itself into the pop song with distorted guitars and Girish's unhinged voice, all four were stunned, followed by an enthusiastic standing ovation and a resounding entry into the next round. 'The whole experience was surreal… it was electrifying… something we'll never forget. Years of touring, dreaming, and staying true to our sound led up to that moment. We're just incredibly grateful to be part of something this big, and to share a piece of our journey with the world,' said frontman Girish Pradhan in an email conversation with The Indian Express. 'You come from the other side of the globe and do something so traditionally American.. It was so beautiful,' said Howie Mandel on the show. On Friday last week, hot on the heels of their now viral performance with 1.7 million views, the Bengaluru-based band — comprising vocalist Girish, guitarist Suraz Sun, bassist Yogesh Pradhan (also Girish's younger brother), and drummer Nagen Nags – with their long tresses cascading behind and goatees that harked back to the 90s, sang a set at the Capital's newly opened The Piano Man. As if plucked straight from the golden age of rock 'n' roll and planted in the cosy live music venue, the band had those present flipping out as frontman Girish's soaring vocals pierced through with the song 'Rock n roll is here to stay'. With limbs pounding, someone from the crowd screamed, 'AGT winners'. Girish obliged by crooning the performance from the show. 'The outpouring of love and support we have received from across the globe has been overwhelming in the best way possible. It's a reaffirmation of everything we've worked so hard for, and a reminder of how far we've come,' said Girish. It all started when a producer from America's Got Talent reached out to Girish via Instagram, after seeing a soundcheck video he had posted from a show at Independence Rock Festival in Mumbai. 'That conversation opened the door for us to pursue AGT, and the rest followed naturally,' says Girish, who identifies the global perception of Indian music, which is traditionally centred around classical genres and Bollywood. 'But as a band, we never set out to fit into that mould. Coming from Sikkim, we were already on the periphery of the mainstream spotlight – and in many ways, that gave us the freedom to chart our own course…We're not trying to redefine what it means to be Indian. We are simply sharing our story,' says Girish. Girish and his younger brother Yogesh are the sons of Bimla Pradhan, a well-known Nepali folk and classical singer, and football commentator Shyam Pradhan, who was deeply passionate about music, and also the band's first manager, mentor and financier. While the brothers grew up with the traditional sound of folk music at home, they were soon drawn to Northeast's deep connection with rock and metal.

5 signs modding will be officially supported in GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) Modders have kept the Grand Theft Auto series alive for years. From ultra-realistic graphics to wild Iron Man suits, mods have pushed GTA beyond Rockstar's original vision. So, it's no surprise that fans are asking: Will GTA 6 finally embrace official mod support? Based on recent clues, the answer could be a bold yes. Here are five clear signs that Rockstar is warming up to the idea of official modding support in GTA 6. 1. Rockstar Acquired a Modding Tool in 2023 In 2023, Rockstar Games quietly acquired the creators behind FiveM and RedM, two of the most popular modding platforms for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. These platforms power massive roleplay communities and custom servers. This move wasn't just about control—it was about integration. It signals that Rockstar sees modding not as a threat, but as an opportunity. Rockstar Has BOUGHT FiveM & RedM! Should We Be Concerned? 2. Take-Two's Tone Toward Modders Has Softened In the past, Take-Two (Rockstar's parent company) was notorious for shutting down mods. But lately, there's been a shift. Many high-profile mods have been left untouched, and with the acquisition, there's a growing sense that the company is learning to work with the modding scene rather than against it. That shift in attitude could lay the foundation for official tools and support in GTA 6. 3. Modding Is a Huge Content Engine Rockstar knows how long a game can live when the community gets involved. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo GTA V has lasted over a decade, thanks in part to modders keeping the content fresh. Modding is a content machine, and Rockstar would rather channel that than fight it. With GTA 6 being their most ambitious open-world yet, letting players build on top of it makes perfect sense, for both hype and longevity. 4. The Roleplay Community Is Too Big to Ignore Let's face it: GTA RP has exploded. Some of the most-watched gaming content on Twitch comes from GTA roleplay. Rockstar already supports it informally, but GTA 6 could be the moment they make it official . Built-in tools, creator kits, or even an RP-specific mode wouldn't be shocking. Red Dead Redemption 2 - Mod Showcase (2024) 5. Rockstar Allowed Modding in Red Dead Redemption 2 While Red Dead Redemption 2 didn't launch with mod support, the single-player modding scene exploded, and Rockstar never shut it down. In fact, they allowed many mods to coexist peacefully, provided they didn't affect Red Dead Online. This was a quiet test run. And guess what? It worked. GTA 6 might be the first Rockstar game to formalize what they allowed in RDR2. We can't say it's confirmed (yet), but all arrows point in one direction: GTA 6 is warming up to official modding. And that's massive. It means more freedom, more chaos, and a game that never gets old. Whether you're a seasoned scripter or just someone who wants to drop SpongeBob into Vice City—get ready. Modding may not just be allowed this time. It might be encouraged.
