6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Why Vince McMahon was "angry" at Seth Rollins, RAW superstars' push reportedly "over"

#3. Hope is true: Vince McMahon's big NXT push

Vince McMahon and Triple H

Many were worried that at Survivor Series, NXT would get the short end of the stick. However, we were all pleasantly surprised when NXT ended up winning with a score of 4-2-1 against SmackDown and RAW respectively.

Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue said that while Triple H had to do some prodding, the final decision to put NXT over strong was down to Vince McMahon only:

"There is no doubt that Triple H did a lot of prodding and poking and a lot of encouragement but he said himself it is a collaborative effort. The three Executive Directors in charge of each brand got together and decided how we were going to do this. But when it comes to the decision to put NXT over this strong, that comes down to Vince McMahon."

One would imagine that AEW's influence had a lot to do with the decision.

"He was the one who wanted NXT put over this strong. I don’t know how strong of an influence Triple H had on that, but the three executive Directors got together to execute Vince McMahon’s vision."

We hope this is true because putting NXT over strong was one of the best decisions they made.
