11 Problems Nobody Wants To Admit About WWE NXT

7. The Wrestling Style Isn't Transferable To Raw

NXT's top matches are fantastic, but the style is also wholly unrealistic. Far from getting these wrestlers ready for the types of matches they'll encounter on Raw, the NXT brand is instead allowing the wrestlers to work a style that is more suited to the indies. For example, do you really think you're going to see a reverse rana off the top rope in a Raw divas match any time soon? That was a great moment when Sasha and Bayley did the move at NXT Takeover Brooklyn, but it isn't realistic to be taking that style to the main roster. As such there's a problem, where NXT wrestlers are going to look superb on the NXT show, and the seem tepid on the main roster. It is because they are working a style that won't be allowed on Raw or Smackdown. It is a problem that you can see Neville contending with each week, as he's limited to the same formulaic high spots and moves on Raw and Smackdown. It isn't the same guy who was so sensational in NXT, because he doesn't have the same stylistic opportunities.
