5 Takeaways from the November 26th episode of WWE Backstage

#4 Triple H proved that NXT and its model are highly effective and successful

Baszler, Triple H and Cole

Whereas brand supremacy was on the line between RAW and SmackDown in past years, it felt even more important to come out on top this year. NXT's involvement in the proceedings upped the stakes for everyone, and with the yellow brand's success, it will hopefully force the other two brands to improve their game/product.

Triple H joined the show and was thrilled with the entire weekend for the yellow brand. He believed that "NXT added energy and a whole other level to both RAW and SmackDown" during the invasion. The Game felt that "everybody delivered beyond expectations", especially before he knew who would be representing NXT following WarGames.

Another big point that Triple H made to the panelists was that coming out of Survivor Series, everything regarding the three brands will return to each show's status quo. We shouldn't expect to see much more cross-over between the brands. The next time there could be interaction will be in the Royal Rumble.

The panel praised Keith Lee's accomplishments over the weekend and Triple H professed his elation for the big Texan's success. The Game said that Lee is "a once in a lifetime talent" and that "he can do all the flips and jumps and then throw around Drew McIntyre like he's a child".

The moment between Lee and Roman Reigns after the elimination match was also considered a truly special moment (reigns putting his hand out to you to say "dude, you're something special") for the current NXT star. Could we be seeing him on Monday or Friday nights sooner rather than later?
