The problem a lot of NXT talent have getting over is that you need to be emotionally invested in them to get emotionally invested in what they're doing. It's a lot like when employers say "must have 5 years experience." Well, how am I meant to get that experience if no one will hire anyone inexperienced. Fandom for a lot of these talents on the main roster comes with "must have already been a fan." Okay then.

When you look at the talent that worked on the main roster, they basically started from scratch. The Shield wasn't an NXT gimmick. Neither was Braun Strowman. The Wyatt Family was, granted, and Bray has probably gone further than anyone else from an NXT transition. Maybe Charlotte, but she was top babyface in NXT and thrived as a heel on the main roster. Sasha was heel in NXT and now works babyface on Raw, if you want to call her a success.

The pre-packaged star doesn't work the way they think it does. And I don't know why they would expect it to considering more people watch Raw than have the Network.
