How long will it last? (Raw spoilers)

Okay, so another week has come and gone in the NXT storyline...I have to say, I'm still very interested in it. They wrote off AmDrag in a general way (which makes it quite clear he's really been fired since he apparently "had remorse" and yet on WWE.com he was somehow was released from a non-existent contract) - but they left the door wide open for his return, so that can only be a good thing.

Last week, many here (myself included) felt that this could be a huge angle that could last all the way til Survivor Series or something.

After last night though, I'm not so sure anymore. WWE have already gotten their hands on NXT and chased them out of the building...it felt WAY too soon to do that, something that should have been saved after a few weeks/a month of constant NXT chaos and disruption.

Granted, they got their revenge later - but now NXT feels pretty limited in what they can do since the Raw roster outnumbers them by so much. They can attack backstage, in the parking lot, etc. Hell they can even attack in the ring, but they have to have a quick escape plan because it's now implied that the Raw roster will rush out to the defense every time an attack happens. If they didn't, it would look pretty stupid and like the WWE ring is no longer considered sacred or whatever.

This feels like the type of storyline that will definitely end at a BIG PPV, so either Summerslam or Survivor Series. But if they want to keep it going PAST Summerslam, I think the group is going to need more members at some point. You can't carry out an Invasion-type storyline with just 7 guys for that long of a time. They'd either have to recruit NXT2, or even FCW guys or future-endeavored WWE guys...all of whom feel "disrespected by WWE management".

Just wondering what everybody thinks.
