Ques from the Clueless: NXT Call Ups

The question is simple: How are NXT alumni being ruined so badly on the Main Roster? And how could it be done better?

Some people seem to think that there is an internal conflict inside the WWE which is causing this issue of NXT superstars being underutilized and treated like jobbers on RAW and SmackDown. On one side there is Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn, the 'old guard' of the WWE, and on the other side is Triple H (Paul Levesque), the producer of NXT. The two sides are apparently warring over control so it is rumored that Vince has taken all of the most successful and talented wrestlers in NXT and put them on the main roster to be fed to Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman, WWE originals who were never in developmental. This is an incredibly valid theory but the real question is how do they fix it.

Other than just getting over something as petty as 'well this guy isn't mine so I'm not going to use them' the best answer is to keep the NXT guys where they are, in NXT. If they gave NXT a two hour time slot then the roster wouldn't feel as bloated as it does right now, even without the amount of superstars who have been called up. A two hour show would make room for more story lines, more wrestling, and more wrestlers to get on the show. Even wrestlers like Finn Balor, The Revival, and Apollo Crews could all make a return to the show without it stealing the spotlight off of current stars or feeling like a demotion. Instead of trying to convince Mr. McMahon that these wrestlers deserve to be top stars, we can expand what NXT is so Triple H can push the people he already knows are some of the best wrestlers in the world.

This solution still involves Vince McMahon, considering it's his company, but not in a creative role that could potentially ruin a superstars reputation, like he's already done with the wrestlers previously mentioned. Triple H is a master mind and he hand picks who comes into NXT so it is already a given that whoever steps foot in the 'developmental' brand is already a top tier wrestler and will be treated as much. NXT: TakeOver pay per views are currently hosting as little as four matches per card, with all of them being title matches, so the potential for more matches and more feuds is virtually limitless if an extra hour is added to a PPV, simply adding more matches means taking away time from the other four matches thus an extra hour is better than just cramming more content in. I think this could be a realistic solution to a very real problem in the realm of the WWE that needs to be fixed in the near future.
