NXT not developmental anymore
Some fans can say this ALL they want, but until
- NXT actually travels to arenas on a weekly basis and doesn’t perform in front of 100 people
- until all of their roster are paid the “main roster” minimum (Raw/Smackdown minimum is $250,000, NXT minimum is $40,000)
- until NXT can prove they can consistently draw near the same amount as Raw/Smackdown (NXT averages 500k viewers, Raw/Smackdown averages 2.5 million)
UNTIL those things happen.... NXT will ALWAYS be the minor leagues with the intention of developing their talent to Raw and Smackdown. That’s not a knock at the talent there, it’s just a fact. NXT is the minor leagues.
