The issue I think is how they contextualize any of this. They been pulling the whole NXT roster up there for these run-ins and having enemies standing side-by-side, which I guess works in the nonsense world of the main roster, but when people come in to NXT, it has to fit into the NXT 'world' as it were. Which means you can't have Rhea running out to save Shayna without wrecking all the believability leading into WarGames. It was my concern once they put NXT into the main WWE operating procedure - would Vince be willing to torpedo everything that makes NXT what it is for the sake of slotting it in as Brand #3: 205-Live-but-Gold. And so far, it's looking like that's the case. Especially understanding that they use NXT to invade because Fox didn't want any of that mixing rosters shyt... so they're just doing what they'd been doing with the wildcard, just using NXT people for it.
I'll be good and goddamned happy when Survivors Series is over and things can go back to functional.
I feel like they should let there be actual stakes for the show, though. Like... if NXT wins, they get to take some motherfukkers back down with them. Give NXT KO and some other people back, maybe use that to toss some NXT people on up. Something. Because 'bragging rights' has literally always been a trash concept and shouldn't at all be enough to have sworn blood rivals standing there in matching shirts cheesing. And makes even less sense when you got dudes who were in NXT a couple months ago out here throwing hands with people they probably fukking lived with because... Blue/Yellow/Red.
nikka, we stopped color-banging years ago even out here in CA. Ain't no reason I need to see nikkas that have hated each other for years out here riding on people cause fukk an alignment, it's time to go to war off T-shirt colors.
Bring on War Games, fukk this SS shyt.
