Isn't it interesting how WWE is handling NXT leading up to Survivor Series?

Not only has the company made them the proverbial underdog in the fight for brand supremacy, but they have also given them a few key victories as well. Furthermore, even when NXT didn't come up victorious, they were always given an out to not appear weak in defeat.

Think about it this way. Between Seth Rollins getting jumped by The Undisputed Era during a match with Adam Cole, to Finn Balor interfering in the match between The OC and Matt Riddle, Tommaso Ciampa and Keith Lee, WWE has gone out of their way to make sure that NXT doesn't take a clean loss.

They also gave Adam Cole a key win over Daniel Bryan a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown, which instantaneously worked to raise his stock in the company and NXT by proxy. Interestingly enough, it also seemed to prove just how willing WWE was to make the Black and Gold brand look strong, which legitimately had a lot of fans invested.

Maybe things will change as time goes on and the other brands could slowly start to gain the upper hand over NXT, but with the way things are going, that doesn't seem very likely.
