Finn Balor killed the territory, imo. Once they made him the top guy, NXT was never the same, and they've booked Nak just like they did Balor.
He was NXT's biggest draw :what:

If anything you could say him leaving "killed" NXT :dahell:

Dude was about as interesting as Apollo Crews, with the same amount of character progression and development. Balor was absolutely NOTHING in NXT. A completely blank slate that was suddenly "the face" of NXT. Balor was the start of "This guy doesn't need a character or storylines because he was popular somewhere else" bullshyt that had made NXT mostly a drag ever since. He was outshined against KO. COMPLETELY outshined against Joe. And that's....all he did. For a year. Feuded with 2 people and looked far inferior to both the whole time. Biggest draw :mjlol:. How do you fukking quantify what is a draw for NXT? The brand is the draw, dawg.

If you have the receipts for Balor's huge drawing ability for NXT to run theaters that they have no problem running without him, I'd like to see them. NXT draws the same crowds before and after him. No one person is the draw for NXT, just like no one person is the draw for mainline WWE. NXT is still running 400-2000 seat places. The only time they run arenas is when piggy backing on PPVs. ROH draws more to their shows than the normal NXT show, breh. fukking ROH. And no one even watches ROH.
