I know that RAW and SmackDown are far more important than NXT on the WWE list of priorities. Those are the two shows that bring in most of the viewership, and also, the two shows with more stars and household names.

But if NXT is to be a part of the mix, even though it is technically a Triple H brand, Vince McMahon needs to afford it a chance to appear competitive against the other brands. Only then, will NXT be viewed as a brand that is on par with SmackDown and RAW, and not a developmental property where stars are born before they go to the 'main roster'.

I think that the build has been great, especially if you consider that Team NXT picked up two big victories on WWE SmackDown, on the go-home episode! The Undisputed ERA picked up a win as so did Rhea Ripley!

They need to keep this momentum going all through Survivor Series 2019!
