NXT was a platform for nurturing the up and coming talent by giving them some quality time on television. No one would have imagined that an afterthought show would rise to incomparable heights due to one man's vision.

Triple H spearheaded the division and made the show the talk of the wrestling community. The NXT Takeover show has become one of the most sought after show by the wrestling fans. If the performance of the wrestlers and the support of the WWE Universe is anything to go by, we all know that this show has got a special place.

There are wrestlers that have made it big on the main roster since rising to the occasion and switching places. Kevin Owens, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, the list of superstars doing well on the main shows is endless. We all know that Hunter has really changed the landscape of professional wrestling, and these are three reasons why NXT is better than the main shows:

#3 More Action, Less Talk

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Contrary to the main shows, NXT is focused on sheer action every step of the way. It is the effort put forth by the wrestlers on the show that makes them the preferred ones. Keith Lee, Bianca Belair or Mia Yim, you name the wrestler, and one thing would be sure, more action. The wrestlers have always performed their characters to perfection, and it is the effort put forth by them that makes the 1-hour on Wednesday Nights more entertaining.

The promos in the ring are crisp, and only elevate the story, as does the in-ring action. Even this week, the show only had two matches, and they were superb. The wrestlers delivered to perfection, and the fans were left wanting more. The shows in the following weeks will have more action, and that is definitely something which will witness more engagement from the WWE Universe.

#2 Worldwide Presence

NXT is not exclusive to just America, as the show has a UK version, and there is news that the company is planning to open its NXT brand worldwide. Triple H wants to create a lot of wrestlers worldwide, and the best way to do so is by promoting local talent.

In an attempt to do so, the WWE COO is expanding the business in a fashion that everyone gets to experience how WWE performs and trains its wrestlers. This has helped the wrestlers and aspiring ones experience the best in class work by the biggest wrestling juggernaut. This is one way to make WWE bigger and better and also fulfill dreams of up and coming ones.

While these two are great reasons, the final one is of extreme importance and is one of the biggest factors behind the rise of the yellow brand amongst the WWE Universe.

#1 NXT Takeover

This is one of the reasons why fans love to watch the yellow brand week in and out. The NXT Takeover matches really instill fans with happiness and memories. Everyone remembers the first ever 30-minute women's iron-man match at the show, which as the name of the show, got the respect of the NXT Universe for the women's division in place.

Ember Moon and Asuka took the fight to another level as did Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano in an NXT Takeover match months ago. The preceding NXT Takeover show saw a grueling match between Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole and was the talk of the town.

These matches provide the fans something worthwhile to watch before the company's biggest shows, like Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and a host of others.
