Roadblock, known as NXT Roadblock since 2022, is a series of professional wrestling shows made by WWE. Its name is a reference to its original March position on the "Road to WrestleMania". The first event took place on March 12, 2016, only streaming live on the WWE Network.[1] The second event, which was titled Roadblock: End of the Line and was exclusive to the Raw brand, took place on December 18, 2016, where it aired on the WWE Network, as well as on traditional pay-per-view outlets.[2] Since 2022, the name is used for a yearly television special of the NXT brand, returning to its original March slot.[3]
