10 Reasons NXT Will Continue To Be WWE's Best Overall Product

There was a period of time in the first quarter of 2015 where Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady were the most innovative two workers in all of World Wrestling Entertainment. Enzo occasionally sported leopard spots dyed into his hair and wore Air Jordan sneakers and hypebeast-friendly fashions as wrestling gear. As well, both Enzo and Cass seemed to pretty much say whatever they wanted with a roughly 75% chance of their promos making any semblance of sense. By comparison, on the main WWE roster, there's a good chance that 75% of the promos you're hearing are heavily scripted and feature phrasing that the talents themselves would never use in real life. Also, given that they're broadcast on globally viewed cable stations, WWE's main roster is likely more heavily scrutinized by corporate interests investing in WWE. Comparatively, NXT is on the WWE Network, so restrictions are likely fewer in number.
