I guess I'm in the minority here as well by preferring not to have NXT title matches on PPVs.
I don't mind having the NXT roster on the main shows to help promote NXT/WWE Network/etc., but the title matches should be contained to their own weekly program/specials.

Sometimes they have talent change names/gimmicks between leaving NXT and debuting on the main roster right? I guess that would be sorta hard to explain... It's wrestling. Nothing is hard to explain.Oh yeah? Explain this.

Nope. NXT is NXT, shouldn't be used as a main roster mainstay. Maybe have an NXT title match on the Night of Champions pre-show, but that's about it. NXT is a developmental show -- if someone's ready to be on the big events every month, call them up to the main roster and give their NXT spot to a rookie who needs the experience.

If a talent is good enough to get a spot on a PPV under the brand of NXT then they may aswell be a mainstay on the main roster.

With NXT being on the Network (same as the pre-shows) it makes sense for the WWE to promote NXT with the the odd Championship match. Maybe they could work on three month rotation (NXT, NXT Tag, NXT Womens) in some order. Not only will it give NXT more exposure to the PPV crowd, it will also give the guys and girls almost ready for the main roster a bit of a taste for the travel they will soon be exposed to on a regular basis.
NXT is quickly becoming the more popular brand and the WWE as a whole could only benefit from it getting more and more exposure.

I think NXT is NXT and has been doing great as its own brand with its own identity, production and style.
No WAY should it be on the main PPVs, it totally destroys everything they've built towards.

I would much rather have seen an NXT Title match, and an NXT Tag Team Title match, and an NXT Women’s Title match at Night Of Champions 2014, instead of the 3 non-Title singles matches we got. Then again, I'm a Belt SMark, of course I would rather see more Championship Title Belts than not.

The exposure would be okay I guess. But I fear it would be counter productive for what they want the brand to be. If they want it to be taken seriously, then exclusivity is the best practice in my opinion. NXT as a brand has been built up with it's own inner hierarchy and it's own pecking order. Putting the title matches on WWE ppvs would really give NXT that cruiserweight division feeling.
Sure a jacuzzi looks great.....until you sit it next to an Olympic sized swimming pool.

I miss the cruiserweight division. So much potential wasted because it's gone. I love NXT, and even more that I know Devitt is coming soon, but I think it should stick to NXT live shows for defending belts/big matches.

I'll say no. NXT is awesome and fun to watch, but it's still the developmental territory. These days, when 90% of people who view a PPV are seeing it on the Network, the same people who watch the PPV can already view the NXT guys every week. I get it, that it gives the guys an opportunity to showcase their stuff in front of a big arena, but if NXT isn't going to be "canon" with Raw, then it shouldn't be showcased with Raw.

I'll say no. With the NXT Tile match at Takeover: Fatal 4-Way, it occurred to me that the reason I was invested in it was because not only of the talent, but the Title isn't defended every month. Whereas the main roster belts it usually is every month sometimes taking away the special feeling of the match.
