10 Reasons Why WWE’s Future Is Brighter Than You Might Think
5. Triple H Knows What He's Doing
Triple H, heir apparent to the WWE empire, does not exist within the bubble.
Most everything that shaped the smash success of NXT was borrowed from outside of it. The Four Horsewomen were fashioned after the UFC quadrumvirate of Ronda Rousey, Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke. The tag team division is a beautiful modernisation of the classic southern tag genre. In order to bolster it as a touring brand in its own right, Trips has rendered it as a glorified Independent. WWE's fingerprints are on it - the production values and vignettes bear the gloss of WWE's trademark expertise in that department - but it works precisely because it is something different, attuned to the frequency of those disenchanted by the main roster creative philosophy.
It's important to stand back and appreciate NXT for what it is sometimes. Even the body language on any given TakeOver special marks it as leagues better than any B-Level main roster PPV.
When Triple H takes over WWE, the company will be ran by a far more open minded man, one with an ear cupped to both the overarching fanbase and, perhaps more importantly, the world outside of Stamford, Connecticut. Which, at the very least, might mean less references to Looney Tunes characters on TV.
