#1 Why the triple-brand fiasco benefits NXT the most

NXT's inclusion into this year's Survivor Series event has certainly spiced things up.

If NXT's invasion of Friday Night SmackDown was the beginning of this war, then be prepared for multiple cross-branded invasions during the next few weeks to come.

But one can't help think that this entire fiasco is NXT's chance to showcase their true worth in front of a mainstream audience.

For example, Adam Cole vs. Daniel Bryan (for the NXT Championship) was a great main event last night, and even though Bryan put over one of the best NXT talents right now, we know that the Yellow brand on USA Network has a limited viewership as compared to main roster giants such as RAW and SmackDown.

So in a way, all of the SmackDown superstars put over NXT wrestlers in the best way possible last night.

This gives the yellow brand an edge over its competitors at Survivor Series.

Not only that, but wrestlers from SmackDown could show up at NXT to redeem themselves next week.

It looks like WWE have kickstarted their Survivor Series plans a bit earlier than expected, but that is a good thing since there is room for more development in the next few weeks to come.

It might be a stretch to say at this point, but if WWE delivers on expectations and showcase NXT in good light, the yellow brand might even have an edge over its Wednesday Night competitor AEW Dynamite.

It all depends on how you want to portray NXT in front of a mainstream audience.
