#2 NXT goes on the road
NXT has had a touring roster for some time that goes beyond their home base in Orlando to put on live events across the US and even abroad. Moreover, Superstars from the black and gold brand have been featured in other locales for TakeOver specials, often overlapping with major PPV weekends for the main roster.
NXT’s weekly television has stuck almost exclusively to Full Sail University, and that has included the transition to a show that airs live on the USA Network. The choice has fit the brand and its ethos up to this point, catering to the smaller base of hardcore fans who have followed the product via the WWE Network.
Putting NXT’s roster into direct completion with RAW and SmackDown Superstars—let alone having them emerge victorious—Invites fans to think of NXT and its roster as existing on the same and an equal plane. The next step may be staging their show in a more equivalent format, not staying close to home but rather hitting the road to play arenas across the country like the red and blue brands do.
