It is being reported by Al Haft of Florida Pro wrestling that Santana Garrett formally known as Brittany in TNA was spotted backstage at yesterday’s NXT REvalution event. There is no official news of Garrett joining the WWE but it is being said that you can expect a more motivated Garrett in the ring. Garrett’s contract in TNA had recently expired and was chosen not to be renewed and the last we had heard was that Garrett was headed back to her roots in shimmer pro wrestling
So what does the future hold for Santana Garrett? Only time will tell but one thing is forsure wherever she goes she’ll make noise with her undeniable talent.

This is my first opinion piece regarding the WWE in what seems like for forever but today in the middle of the day in California I have a great reason to be writing one. That’s because yesterday I stayed up till almost 4am watching a replay of NXT’s REvolution. I might also add that this was the FIRST time I actually watched an NXT show all the way through and let me tell you, I’m so happy I choose last night to do so.
NXT has something for everyone. If you’re into the brawling style of wrestling then Kevin Owens would be your go to wrestler. If you lean more towards powerhouses you have Baron Corbin, if you’re into high flyers you have the Lucha Dragons, if you like technical wrestlers you have Charlotte and if you like wrestlers that are a mix of a little bit of everything then keep an eye out for guys like Hedio Itami or Finn Balor.
All of the people I just listed wrestled in last nights NXT event and so if you haven’t watched it you should go do that ASAP. I was more entertained in the 2 hours that NXT put on yesterday then I have been with the 3 hours raw puts on every week in a VERY VERY VERY long time. From the very first match between Kevin Owens and CJ Parker all the way to the main event between Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn there was NEVER and I mean NEVER a dull moment.
At one point in the NXT women’s title match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks fans were chanting “holy sh**” and “this is wrestling” when is the last time or if ever have we heard that in a divas match on the main roster?
Lets talk about the main Event shall we? The championship match between Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn is all that is RIGHT in the world of professional wrestling. A good ol fashion wrestling match that went back and forth and kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Whether you’re a fan of Zayn or Neville both men delivered and made sure every fan would walk away happy.
The end of the match also proves that NXT is head and shoulders above the rest… SPOILER ALERT……… After Sami Zayn picked up the victory and became the new NXT world champion he was overcome with emotion as the rest of the NXT locker room came to congratulate him. The moment was so emotional that there are reports from people in attendance that audience members were crying and hugging one another. Now tell me have we EVER seen that happen on a raw or Smackdown??? NO WE HAVEN’T and there sure as hell haven’t been any reports of moments like that either.
Here is another example of why everyone should be watching NXT. As Zayn was still celebrating, his real life good friend Kevin Owens comes back to embrace him with another hug but THEN rips him off the apron sending the back of Zayn’s head into the apron.
Ladies and gents that’s how you make a moment. That’s how a heel is born and that’s how you set up a great feud. Now what we have here are two real life friends, two ROH alumni feuding for a world title! That exact moment and everything else that happened last night is proof that professional wrestling is alive and well.
It also proves that Triple H truly does know what’s best for business and the sooner Vince McMahon steps down and HHH takes over it’ll be better for EVERYONE
But for now I advise that you dive deep into the world of NXT and enjoy every single second of this amazing ride. It’s gonna be a GOOD ONE
