Top NXT Star Not at Last Night’s TV Tapings

It’s worth noting that Shinsuke Nakamura did not appear at last night’s WWE NXT TV tapings. Nakamura lost the WWE NXT Title to Bobby Roode at Takeover San Antonio, and while he might be out selling the leg injury from the match, it remains unconfirmed why he was absent from last night’s tapings.

The next set of NXT TV tapings is on February 22nd from the University of Central Florida campus, and last night’s tapings should take NXT through early March. The Central Florida tapings are likely the final NXT TV tapings before the Takeover special over WrestleMania weekend.

Heidi Lovelace Works Dark Match Prior to the Tapings

Prior to last night’s WWE NXT tapings, the former Heidi Lovelace lost a dark match to Mandy Rose. Lovelace was announced by her real name, Dori Prange.
