5 questions from NXT Takeover: WarGames that most need answering

<p>

#5 Is this NXT's strongest mid-card division?

Who needs a title match?
Who needs a title match?

Some might have looked at the card for NXT War Games and felt a little sorry for Drew McIntyre and Cien Almas. While we are used to seeing the championship match not main event PPVs on the main roster, NXT typically concludes its shows with either the men's or women's title bout.

Far from being a fault with either competitor, the fact that War Games did not finish with the men's title match owes to the fact that NXT has one hell of a mid-card division at the moment. For quite a while, Sanity were at a bit of a loss seeing as they were the only established faction on the roster. This made them look slightly awkward, spinning their wheels between meaningless feuds.

Now, with the debuts of Cole, O'Reilly and Fish, and Roderick Strong's temporary alignment with the Authors of Pain, Sanity finally has some worthy competition. So much so that people are all but completely focused on them rather than the two championship feuds.

Never before has NXT enjoyed such a healthy mid-card. Sure, we have seen quite a few boom periods for the product, but normally it is made up of a group of singles stars all looking to get their hands on the NXT Championship. This feud between the three teams has been fun, engaging and feels like it has a point to it away from the title.

If NXT continues down this road, this could be the greatest era the developmental territory has ever seen.
