The entire SmackDown Women's Team for Survivor Series came from NXT
It's interesting that WWE has decided to pit Raw against SmackDown against NXT this year at Survivor Series since at least 75 percent of the main roster is currently made up of NXT graduates.

The only real stars who are part of the main roster who didn't come from NXT right now are the ones who have been tenured to the company longer than NXT has existed or were able to bypass the developmental division all together to make their debut.
This means that even though NXT are the enemy of the main roster heading into Survivor Series, there are only five stars on the card who didn't come through NXT to get to WWE.

Those are Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Mustafa Ali. Given the fact that there are still many names left to be announced but there are already 31 names announced on the show and 26 of them are former NXT stars shows just how much of an impact Triple H's vision has had on the company over the past few years.
