brehs, would another WWE brand inbetween NXT & RAW/SD be possible?

[jadillac]

you watch some of these wrestlers/characters that just seem to "work" on NXT, but you know they simply won't translate to RAW or SD just because those shows are catering to a different fan.

A team like The Revival is great on NXT...but NXT is basically their ceiling because that team just doesn't work on RAW/SD brands. But they can't stay in NXT forever because it's still just developmental, so another step up is kind of needed. Sure some wrestlers can translate on NXT and then to RAW/SD, but not all of them, and it shouldnt be a bad thing.

NXT is closer to a WCW/NWA style of brand than RAW/SD are. The match styles are just different and I think a new brand, IF SOLD PROPERLY, would do well.

I think NXT is the third brand. It's no longer just developmental and it's suppose to be their attempt at ROH/wrestling type of product.

honestly the Revival probably should stay unless they get a manager and/or big plans for them on Raw/SD!

I know, but they can only stay in nxt for so long bc other talent needs to develop behind them.

But there's no way we see what we just saw on Takeover on Raw or Smackdown.

Yes, you're right we won't see matches like Revival/DIY on RAW/SD! because that's not the type of stuff Vince is into. I think you can keep guys down in NXT for as long that is needed because the performance center/Flordia live shows act as developmental and NXT TV show/National tour is the third brand.

There is a reason why Joe, Aries, Strong, Roode, EY, and Shinsuke are still on NXT, It's because the touring brand needs some big names to help draw for the touring shows and TV show. But I get what you're saying about guys overstaying their welcome but with the brand split and 9+ hours of programming they need to develop and introduce all the talent that they can.

Revival would be fine on SDL. I could see them having similar matches with Alpha on a SD! brand PPV. Give them 20+ minutes. But on RAW fukk no, they'd be in Gallows and Anderson territory within a couple months.

NXT is a brand IMO and should be a mainstay and the C show not just for up and comers

I think guys like Cedric Alexander, Swann, Luke Harper , neville, Sami and crews who lost in the shuffle could cook there

Maybe a proper ECW resurrection
