#2. The future is now!
NXT is no longer WWE's Network show that is being used as a launchpad for the main roster. NXT stars are no longer hiding in the shadows or hoping that they will be noticed by the main roster and promoted if they are good enough.
Times have now changed, ever since September NXT has been streaming live on a Wednesday night on the USA Network and it's proved that it's still the phenomenon that it once was.
Despite this, NXT is still seen as the developmental brand and this was the company's way of showing that this isn't the case. NXT stars now longer want to be on the main roster, they consider NXT to be the main roster and the work that they are doing at Full Sail University needs to be seen to be believed.
Survivor Series was Triple H's chance to show what NXT can do and it was for the main roster to put over the talent that will be on the main roster in years to come. NXT deserved the win, they have dominated the buildup and they more than followed through on their threats tonight.
