People keep saying NXT is the main roster but then in the same breath say going back is a demotion which one is it.

Like you said it’s just like going to Raw or SD now.

People are just used to saying "moved up" and "main roster." Over time it will fade. With it being on USA it's on the same levels as Raw and SD now.

respectfully disagree with this statement for two important and basic reasons...

1. if you're on a show that films in a tiny studio instead of traveling the country on a weekly basis, then you're not on the "main roster"

2. if you're making $40,000-$100,000 a year (NXT average) and not $500,000 on up (Raw/Smackdown average), then you're not on the "main roster"


USA and Fox paid billions of dollars for Raw and Smackdown, not NXT.

I had a lot of fun. However, I was hoping to see more of Omega in action.

Cody was some blood & belt shots away from ticking off all the boxes in Cody shortcuts in a match.


Hilarious that after all the talk of being serious & shyt, the main event of the first TV has a guy run in & attack someone right in front of the ref & it's not a DQ or anything. Didn't even bother to do a ref distraction or anything, just pretended the shyt didn't happen & kept it moving :pachaha:

AEW has a lot to prove and wasn't referring to them. with that said if they continue to prove themselves on a weekly basis in the ratings then they will get a new and bigger TV deal as well.

was referring to the WWE brand and they are proven with USA so naturally they're gonna get a decent deal for their NXT show. they didn't get 2 billion dollars though like Raw/Smackdown got. they got 50 million.
