The WWE Universe has a few questions that need to be answered

On Sunday night, WWE delivered one of their best pay-per-views of the year, as NXT competed in Survivor Series for the first time ever and managed to go over both RAW and SmackDown.

The Black & Gold brand achieved this feat just 24 hours after delivering their greatest event of the year in the form of TakeOver: WarGames. Both events put the spotlight on the NXT brand, which they are sure to capitalize on now and in the future.

Although Survivor Series was incredible, it left WWE asking a few major questions. The answers can reveal a lot about WWE's future, as well as the direction for several of the company's top Superstars and storylines. In this article, we will look at the biggest questions that fans have after Survivor Series.


#5 Are all three brands now on equal footing?

Unill last year, NXT was always looked at as WWE's "third show" and often called the “developmental brand." This year, we’ve seen NXT prove many people in the industry wrong and jump many hurdles to become on par with the other three brands, especially in the eyes of many fans.

NXT earned its first major network deal this year and began airing on the USA Network live from Full Sail University. This allowed the world to watch a lot more of the Black & Gold brand, and the Superstars involved received significantly more exposure.

By adding NXT to Survivor Series, the company allowed the Black & Gold Superstars an opportunity to break the shackles, and build the brand to become as good as any other wrestling show in the world.

With so much exposure, can we now safely say that NXT is not just a developmental brand or the third show, but the show everyone waits for each and every Wednesday night?

By frequently appearing on RAW and SmackDown, and defeating both shows at Survivor Series, it seems like NXT is now parallel to the company's other two brands.

Will we also begin to see NXT Superstars feature in WWE Drafts, rather than seeing NXT Superstars “move up” to the main roster? Only time will tell.
