Live NXT September 12th 2023 Discussion Thread: The Man comes around to NXT + #1 Contenders match for NXT Title

[Butters]

Will make Tiffany look even more credible when she wins it back at No Mercy. Or she goes to Smackdown

 

[Comrade Khan]

That’s why they did it exactly. Now all 4 Horsewomen are Grandslam Champions

I am still personally not a fan of main roster people punching down, but I get why they did it.

 

[Comrade Khan]

its similar to mjf cole being ROH tag champs which is cool but im not sure how i feel about it either lol

 

[Butters]

It also tries to drive home their point that its not developmental when it absolutely is

yeeh I wish they would pick a fucking lane lol

but i can tell u exactly why they have been doing this stuff if you want

They still havent gotten that large increase for raw and sdl. I believe in the theories that they are boosting NXT ratings artificially with main roster stars so they can get a big increase on nxt

 

[Butters]

Baron Corbin is there. Sky is the limit

very transparent but to great success I'd say, Andrew Zarian said NBC has been over the moon lately

Pretty sure Nick Khan has been calling NXT a third brand for a good while now.

every since the contract year push started yeah lol but pretty much since they ended the 2.0 branding

def huge success they have better ratings than...ever? Its no a huge deal to me they doing it, but ya I agree it is rather transparent lol. probably needed as well as from what I was hearing from zarian and others is that they arent (at least atm) getting a big increase on the other shows. or at least not what they were aiming for . all speculative ofc

 

[Comrade Khan]

Nick Khan says a lot of things that are not always true so I don't really rate much of what he says, dude is a walking PR statement

 

[Butters]

Even before. Back since that survivor series

 

[Comrade Khan]

hes good at his job tho

 

[Chris]

Even before. Back since that survivor series

well yeah but then 2.0 happened which completely killed that lmao but now it's more of a third brand than it ever felt even back then

 

[Butters]

I guess i missed out on 2.0
