Should the NXT title be defended at the big 4 PPVs?
Feel like it would give NXT more exposure. Get more people who have the network to tune in. Might even get more subscribers.

Maybe not all four, but would be good for Wrestlemania.

Sure. It's already more important/relevant than the WWECW Title ever was and that was defended at the Big 4 so. Yes. Why not.
Gives them a reason to bring a few guys up in front of the bigger crowd as well leading up to those shows. |

Would be a nice touch on the pre show before the big 4. It should not make the main stage though because they are still considered a step below the professionals.

Hmm, I dunno. I'm happy with NXT getting the sort of exposure it is. Maybe have some more talent work "one-off" to dip their toes in the water -- ie. Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks appearing as partners for Paige and Naomi in a tag match or something -- but I don't think we need the title defended out of NXT. If you want that title, you have to step into the realm NXT provides.

Not a bad idea. My only concern with something like that is that most marks have no idea who the NXT guys are, and so the chances of 'boring!' chants occurring at these PPV's would be significantly higher. |

I'm going to go the other way here and say "no". WWE seems to hage a hard enough time putting up any of the other championships at PPV's on a reliable basis. One more belt to juggle is asking too much.

If they DID feel the need to do it at a Big 4 PPV, I'd advocate doing it as a hot opener for the main Royal Rumble card since most of the "big names" will be in the Rumble itself anyway. But I'd rather keep it on NXT. |

They should do a "NXT Showcase" match on SD! every week. Get the hardcore a to watch SD! and give NXT more exposure in a "protected" taped environment.

I say no....
NXT needs to,stay on the WWE network. It adds to the mystique of the show. I like it as it is. Good with just the right amount of exposure, Putting them on a WWE show would mean they would not always be protected by Triple H or the NXT writers. |

Something like this would be really okay. Even if it were Baron Corbin squashing a guy or Tyler Breeze just showing up one week to showcase his gimmick. They don't even need to do it every week, but promote that it's an "NXT Showcase" and try and get people talking about NXT.

Perhaps a one off Smackdown featuring just NXT stars. sorta like a One Night Only. Have the card be like this.
Bo Dallas vs. Sami Zayn Blake and Murphy vs Los Matadores Tyler Breeze vs. Solomon Crowe Sasha Banks and Naomi vs. Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch Cameron vs. Charlotte Enzo, Big Cass, & Prime Time players vs Ascension & Vaudevillians Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler |

I'd say no upon the fact that when WWE has a schedule or a gimmick PPV laid out they just half ass it and it would lead to NXT being taken for granted.

Maybe for Mania but no for other ppvs. Instead more NXT showcases could be done like Steele said or maybe have NXT matches be the preshow matches for ppvs. Keeps people aware of NXT and forces the WWE to stop using the preshows mainly for throw away matches and/or feuds.
Rather NXT keep doing their own thing than have to rush or disrupt plans just to fit into the WWE's Big 4 ppv setup. Took them until recently to recover from the last time they had to rush stuff because of WWE's Mania needs. |

They did a very bad job with ECW title matches at the tri-brand pay-per-views. I don't trust them enough. Maybe if the storyline is good enough to deserve a bigger stage...dunno

Personally, I cannot wait for NXT to tour. They are all amazing performers and I enjoy their shows just as much, if not more, than RAW/Smackdown. |

Have it defended at Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble & Summerslam, but have a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match in November, as it would be able to showcase more of their talent.....

NXT v WWE traditional Survivor match. Don't do that with the ladies though, the NXT ladies will put the main roster to shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

I don't know, I feel if a feud is hot enough to be on one of the big 4 cards maybe. If its defended on them a lot though it would kind of take away the importance of the Takeover specials.

Kind of think they should call-up Sasha Banks to do a Kevin Owens and "save" the Divas Division.

She does have a "character" that will 100% fit Total Divas (if they haven't included her already?) so a call up is imminent I would think. |

They defend the us title on raws in england so why should logic ever get in the way of a title match. Those shitbirds can't even be happy when they have a good thing going. Nxt should get one man in the royal rumble per year and stay on the network. I hear cm punk in my head every thread about vince's idiotic daughter and doofus son in law taking over
