10 Problems WWE Caused Themselves With NXT

10. Raised Fans' Expectations

How many times have NXT stars outclassed their colleagues on the main roster? Whenever a TakeOver happens on the same weekend as a big show, it’s become almost inevitable that most people will prefer the smaller event. They are tight, wrestling heavy, and full of great workers, the perfect antidote to WWE’s overblown Network Specials.

All of which has served to give fans hope. Hope that when the boys and girls from NXT are called up things will get better. That when Triple H steps into the position that Vince McMahon eventually has to vacate (he can’t live forever, can he?) WWE will move into a new glorious era inspired by the work done in developmental. Sadly, that hope is unlikely to come into reality.

For great workers are not enough to change the dodgy booking of the main roster and when Triple H takes control, he’ll be doing it alongside Stephanie McMahon who is very much her father’s daughter. It may seem churlish to complain about fantastic matches and solid booking, but when only half of the company is providing it, the worries have to be taken into account. NXT fans now expect the best and Raw and SmackDown too often don't deliver it.
