#2 Blurs the line between the brands

After Survivor Series things have turned around for the three brands of WWE. The brand that has benefited the most from the pay-per-view and a new television deal is definitely NXT.

The Black & Gold brand has hit gold by outperforming the other two brands over the past year, and Rhea Ripley made a huge impact by challenging the Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair and punching her ticket to WrestleMania. The move allowed NXT to book a top match at WrestleMania for the first time.

Angel Garza too has made the jump from NXT to RAW and gotten himself booked for The Show of Shows while adding Austin Theory to the lineup now just clearly shows that WWE is taking as much interest in NXT as any other brand.

This also proves that WWE is blurring the lines between the brands and not treating any brand lower than the other.

With a Superstar Shakeup coming up soon, it will be really interesting to see how the brands shape up now as we’ve seen Finn Balor head to NXT, Charlotte Flair challenge for an NXT Championship, and Austin Theory move from NXT into the RAW Tag Team Championship picture.
