ARTICLE: NXT HAS PROVEN US ALL WRONG!

Remember when everyone predicted NXT was going to become weaker by the time initial top names like Finn Bálor, Kevin Owens, Neville, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura and more left the brand to go to the main roster? Well, NXT has proven us all wrong.

In fact, one thing I can assure you is that NXT has become more powerful than in the past. Nowadays, more guys from the Performance Center are breaking out and becoming the stars of the brands. Names like the new NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon and the new NXT Champion Andrade "Cien" Almas.

NOTE: I call PC stars to stars that trained and became professional wrestlers in the Performance Center, and also characters that broke out in NXT.

NXT relied a lot on independent professional wrestlers who did everything they had to do and wanted to go to WWE for bigger challenges, or guys whose main dream was to be in the WWE. Indy stars helped create and develop this system from a gigantic failure into the biggest thing in professional wrestling. Nowadays, PC stars are joining indy stars to continue the growth of the system and help it keep the awesome work.

Lars Sullivan is a different specimen. The Velveteen Dream proved that he can work a story with someone polar opposite of him. Ember Moon, Peyton Royce and Nikki Cross, along with Kairi Sane (not a PC star), Billie Kay and Ruby Riot, make the NXT Women's division look strong. Andrade Almas and Zelina Vega showed what a pair can change in someone's career. And SAnitY and Authors of Pain made hell inside WarGames. All these are not stars made in the indies. These are WWE stars.

This is what NXT has come to, giving a division between the indy scene and the NXT scene that no one saw in the first years of the developmental system. And now, we all get to enjoy the brilliance of Triple H and the recruiting/training team, like William Regal and Matt Bloom, who show long-term plans might not work in the main roster, but in NXT they work perfectly.

NXT! NXT! NXT! NXT! NXT!
