A week of NXT flying high
The last week was a solid one for NXT. Not only did TakeOver outdraw all the shows mentioned above, the brand's Survivor Series performance was also commendable.
Indeed, NXT won the war, as they ended the night with four wins to their name while SmackDown could only muster two victories and RAW had to settle with the sole win that The Viking Raiders achieved in the Kickoff Show
