If NXT is now an equal brand, what will be WWE's developmental promotion? Being a Louisvillian, I'd love to see them go back to OVW, but it'll never happen (but at least we're with Impact Wrestling now). What do you think will happen? I mean, AEW doesn't have a developmental (yet), so I guess the E doesn't have to have one, but geez.
Also, would you say that NXT is now what ECW was from 2006-2010? I mean, obviously it's higher quality, but is that kind of what they're shooting for? I think that might be the case, but NXT will probably end up being MORE of an equal than ECW ever was.

It's gonna maybe this weird line of it's the underground place with top level stars but also land of rookies sprinkled in. Maybe, we'll have like sub NXT brand. Great question.

Don't they have some kind of working relationship with EVOLVE?

It's a nice thought, but the Survivor Series win was just to boost ratings on Wednesdays against AEW. It will be forgotten in a month or so.

The WWE can say that NXT is equal all they want. Fact of the matter is NXT will always be the "C" show, Smackdown will always be the "B" show, and Raw will always be the "A" show. NXT will still develop the "rookies" with a few established SuperStars on the show. Smackdown will always be the 2nd longest-running weekly episodic program in the United States. Raw is the 3 hour flagship show. Even if Smackdown won every match on the preshow, and NXT swept Raw and Smackdown at the Survivor Series, the order or "importance" will always be Red, Blue, Yellow.

i'd say it's the indies that are the developmental again. which there is nothing wrong with.

The true WWE developmental is the Performance Center. Those who exclusively train there, wrestle on NXT live events, and sparingly appear/wrestle on TV.

They're not going to go out of house for developmental after all that they've sunk into the PC. New talent will still be farmed from the independents/Evolve, report to the PC, and work the NXT Florida circuit until they're ready to be put on to TV.

NXT on USA will likely be presented as a mainstream WWE show. NXT on the road will probably be treated more like OVW or DSW.

Nxt is still developmental they do shows all around FL I go to at least 2-3 shows a month and we see all the other talent and then some main with the main events. They won’t move outta Florida for a long ass time and especially not back to Ovw weak ass area. Nxt is FL 4-Life deal with it!

Its not equal. It's still the minor leagues.
If it wasnt, they surely would send Reigns and Charlotte down there to rack up title runs.

In a pure business sense, sure. Have to believe thats been the plan for a while. |

Who knows, especially since they’ll be leaving Full Sail next year and be at other venues for the shows. Not sure if they’re aiming for stadiums like Raw & Smackdown or smaller venues like Hammerstein Ballroom.

NXT is still developmental. The goal is still to produce stars who can deliver on Raw and SmackDown, the shows that make the big money. NXT is just a lot more polished and prominent than OVW and FCW were. For talent not yet ready for NXT, there’s NXT:UK, or Evolve. As far as I’m aware, the NXT Florida live events still feature a lot of less experienced talent, whereas the touring NXT live events is pretty much all TV-ready wrestlers.
