The start of a Revolution

Triple H was always more open to opinions. There are two things that he did right. Firstly, Hunter went on a hunt to discover and gather talent from all over the world and the independent scene perhaps taking a page out of the IWC fanbase. NXT soon turned into a no-nonsense wrestling-centric product. The second batch of Superstars NXT produced had more indie darlings than home-grown talent. We have: Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, American Alpha, Enzo and Cass, Neville, the Lucha dragons and The Vaudevillains

Some of these names are hugely popular all over the world and when one thinks about it, they don’t necessarily see a reason why they have to work through a training system. Most of these guys were tailor made for the main roster. But WWE knows better and did a fine job of putting them in a transitional phase, where they know what it’s like to perform in front of tens of thousands of people unlike in the independent scene. People like Hideo Itami and Shinsuke are yet to make their main roster debut.
Hunter set the tone for the main roster and eventually, NXT created the Women’s revolution. From Sasha vs Bayley at the first NXT TakeOver in Brooklyn to Sasha Vs Bayley main eventing their own NXT TakeOver and creating history, the women of WWE have come a long way thanks to NXT. The quality of the women’s matches we see on the main roster now are still nowhere near the magic that was produced at NXT but it's still an improvement from the 2-minute long matches that took place a few years back.
The four horsewomen are game changers. They’re the best batch of women that WWE have produced in their history and Asuka, Ember Moon and other will soon graduate to the main roster too. Amongst them, Charlotte and Sasha have gone on to create an intense rivalry, rich with ample animosity and uncaptured intensity that will take the Women’s revolution to the new era. Then there are others like Paige and the recent recruit - Ember Moon. Her finisher is just stunning. Other women like Summer Rae and Emma greatly benefitted from going back to NXT.
