#2 Pro - There will be less chance of burials of NXT stars on the main roster

One problem between NXT and the main roster brands is that a huge deal of wrestlers from NXT get lost in the shuffle once they become members of the main roster. Vince McMahon either doesn't like them or does not get their gimmicks. It happened with the Ascension, Tyler Breeze, Tye Dillinger, Adam Rose and many others.

Just because an act was popular on the yellow brand, it didn't necessarily mean that the same popularity would translate to either RAW or SmackDown. With McMahon overseeing NXT, it will still mean that certain wrestlers won't get pushed.

But instead of someone coming off a red-hot run in NXT and only to lose what made them special in NXT, they'll likely have clearer paths to success or to finding their niche on the main roster. NXT will have more eyes on it now so fans will often be more familiar with the stars that are moving up than before.

Part of the discord between the main roster and NXT was that McMahon didn't consistently watch or follow NXT or know many of its stars. Now that he'll actually see the developmental talents first hand, he'll ultimately decide which ones he thinks have big futures in the WWE. By seeing that sooner rather than later, talented wrestlers will likely have smoother transitions once they are moved up.
