Triple H named Head of Talent Relations and Creative in WWE. 2023 WON Booker of the Year.

- Start date
and continued to treat it like developmental. 
You don’t actually believe this. You’re talking about a storyline, I’m talking about branding, marketing, tv rights, production etc. real feasible things, not a fukkin storyline. Like, this is a show that’s ran from a college campus in front of a few hundred people and you’re claiming it’s presented on the same level as Smackdown snd raw.. get real
It has. No need to try to sweep this fact along with the Survivor Series 2019 PPV under the rug because it doesn't conform to the point you're trying to make.
The fact that y’all really champion beating NXT in viewership is actually embarrassing. It makes that entire company look bad by even bragging about that shyt
Like fam???
NXT?????
Look at RAW and Smackdown’s weekly viewership, and compare that to NXT’s. You shytting me? shyts like a garbage teams starting 5 beating the Warriors bench and celebrating like they just won a championship
Let’s end this back and forth tho. Again, congrats to you AEW guys for that huge w. Glad it’s working for y’all. Wish y’all nothing but endless W’s against NXT.

Chris Jericho Thinks AEW Will Beat RAW In The Ratings Soon

To make things fair, let's remove AEW from this equation because they aren't relevant to this discussion. NXT in 2019, according to Triple H's own words, was positioned to be a 3rd brand and their inclusion in Survivor Series 2019 was evidence of that. To make things easier for you to look up, here's the Wiki for Survivor Series 2019

Do these results scream "hey, NXT is a developmental brand that shouldn't be even footing to RAW or Smackdown"?
It's ok to be wrong. Admitting it is easier than digging a hole or trying to say "but but but AEW". Hopefully you're capable of a response that excludes AEW.

@Larry Legend is right and wrong. They did try to have it be a 3rd brand and it failed not really because of Hunter but because Vince continued to mess around with the rosters and ruin stories that Hunter wanted to tell..
But AEW will probably never reach the heights of the other two WWE brands.

I must not have been watching NXT at that point because I don't remember that card, but good lord at pushing NXT that heavy over your main roster.

OVW wouldn’t be getting big wins against E talent at one of the brand name shows or top 4 PPVs. The E never gave OVW, a true developmental, any shine except shytting on the Spirit Squad. 
NXT, or WWE Indy, was definitely the third brand show in the eyes of wrestling fans, but because Cokeboy didn’t see it that way I guess the marks agree, right? The E literally turned NXT into a real developmental with 2.0 when they failed.

WWE wasn't even putting over ECW rostered talent over Raw and Smackdown that much in a PPV. And ECW was an actual third brand.OVW wouldn’t be getting big wins against E talent at one of the brand name shows or top 4 PPVs.

The fact that you’re still talking to me about a storyline instead of actual feasible branding is why this conversation can’t continue.
You people are impossible to talk to. It’s like you’re purposely ignorant
NXT isn’t even profitable. Doesn’t have lucrative deals and billions of marketing dollars put into it. It could never be on equal footing with flagship programming.
If overvaluing NXT makes you feel better about AEW outdrawing it, be my guess..
Again, I’m glad you can wear that as a badge of honor. Just know you’re embarrassing yourself

NXT sold out Staples Center and other 10k+ arenas, but it’s a developmental right?

Reread my post. Triple H said NXT was an equal brand compared to RAW and Smackdown. Hell, I'll even bold it for you: Triple H said NXT was an equal brand to RAW and Smackdown.
