7 Things WWE's Main Roster And Creative Team Can Learn From NXT Rival

Listen up Vince, HHH is killing it right now.

Last night in Orlando, WWE put on their best main event of the year. NXT's Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn throwing down the gauntlet down for Wrestlemania to play a game of "can you top this" against a developmental territory's supershow. Even further, on said event, women's wrestling, technical grappling, audacious presentations, risk-taking and progressive concepts of pro-wrestling took center stage. Comparable to a case of punk gleefully peeing in the arena rock pool, NXT could represent the most unique and entertaining program - independent, Japanese, Mexican, American or otherwise - in the world. WWE's main roster is in a state of extreme flux. A discordant mess of ill-fitting parts, there's lessons that Raw and Smackdown's writers and regular performers can learn from the broadcast that could possibly alter the down-trending course of the company's top-tier offering. Pro wrestling's in a place where we're likely looking at another three-to-five years until things get *really* great. Face it. You want Kevin Owens versus John Cena, Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor, Charlotte and Sasha Banks, plus Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan in a three-way dance at Wrestlemania 35. In order to get there, though, the main roster has numerous lessons they need to learn from the crew down at NXT. Here are seven of them.
