#1 That NXT had the better show
An issue that has arisen a number of times since the WWE Network went online, is the NXT brand outperforming and outshining the main roster brands in TakeOver events held prior to a WWE pay-per-view; and this weekend the issue continued as TakeOver: Canada was by far, the better show this weekend.
While WrestleMania and SummerSlam held their own or were better than the TakeOvers in Dallas and Brooklyn during 2016, that was not the case here, as some lacklustre performances and the short main event overshadowed the good Intercontinental and Cruiserweight championship matches; thereby making the PPV inferior to NXT’s show.
While there is the argument that, talent-wise, there is not much of a difference between the NXT roster and those of Raw and SmackDown, it is no reason, for what is supposed to be a developmental brand, to have the superior show nearly every time the two are put head-to-head.
