Now that the ranking system is in place, the question becomes is how will it effect weekly television and the awarding of NXT Title shots. Firstly superstars can only challenge for the NXT Title if they are ranked in the Top 5. It would stand to reason that people would go about trying to improve their ranking so that they can be eligible for these title shots. Now people would think that youd be sacrificing personal feuds, but if you are being honest with yourself you will see that you are only adding more drama to them. Now there is something tangible on the line in every feud, you ranking stands to improve or worsen based on the result of any match, which will lead to grudges being forged and rivalries being sparked. Every sport has its great rivalries and NXT with this ranking system will be no different. To add to the drama and allow for last minute switch ups and more narrative maneuverability, the bylaws of the ranking system will allow for special matches that will feature rapid re-seeding. That means if a party feels compelled either by hubris or blood boiling vitriol, they can put their ranking on the line. That means the #2 superstars could wrestle the #10 superstar, and if the #10 superstar wins, they will switch spots. These kinds of matches would be done sparingly, but the option will always be available. Otherwise, the rankings will be updated based of the algorithm discussed earlier, based of a plethora of wrestling criteria (and obviously creative direction).
