Who will win the war between the brands?

This may not be 'The Game' that Triple H had in mind

You may have come across people who believe it’s okay to pay interns or artists with ‘exposure’. I fear that the same thing will happen with NXT at Survivor Series.

It appears that including a third brand in the battle of brand supremacy for the first time has already drawn a lot of attention towards NXT. Even though the brand enjoyed immense popularity even before it made its television debut, it’s different to be featured in one of WWE’s big four pay-per-views

However, this may backfire for the underdogs this weekend. The fact that there will be unique matches and a plethora of talent on display may end up forcing the NXT Superstars to settle for 'exposure' to a bigger audience in place of a deserving win.

It is pretty much given that every member of the NXT roster that will represent their brand at Survivor Series will live up to the expectations. After all, they claimed that this particular roster has no room for ‘bulls***’ in the ads that rolled out right ahead of the show's television debut. Luckily, they have held their end of the deal.

However, on Sunday, these Superstars might be booked to deliver epic performances which would then meet an unfortunate fate at the hands of their rival brands.
