I know 90% of you guys don't watch NXT. But it's been pretty good lately, as they seem to have forgotten about the whole rookie competition part. Anyway, I realized tonight that NXT which barely lasts 30 minutes a week has more current storylines than Raw does right now.
Raw has:
Punk vs. the establishment
Cena vs. Del Rio
DOD vs. Kelly
Riley vs. Dolph, I guess
NXT has:
Bateman feuding with Titus O'Neil
AJ was attacked by Maxine
Darren Young is feuding with Matt Striker
Tyson Kidd is feuding with Yoshi
JTG was feuding with Koslov until this week
Bateman and Maxine are making out on the ramp
Raw has 2 hours and does almost nothing with it's midcard, yet an internet show that me and like 6 other people watch has tons going on. Seems odd to me.

Shouldn't Truth/morrison be added, unless they're just done now.

So, in short, AJ and all of the pros are being given more to do on NXT than on WWE television. I hate WWE sometimes.  |

When you seperate each person's actions into seperate "Storylines" then yeah, they've got a lot going on.
If you do that for Raw you've also got: R-Truth vs. conspiracies. CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash. Swagger and Vickie. Vickie and Dolph.

You forgot the budding bromance between Bourne and Kofi on Raw. Plus Swagger trying to swoon Vickie Guerrero.

I am really wondering what the whole Kanji thing on the titantron was about after Tyson Kidd's match this week on NXT.

you could probably count the Cole/King/JR relationship as another storyline too.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... NXT has current storyline(S)?
I was still thinking that it was a rookie competition show. Well, then... I suppose it's time to catch up.

I do love that 3 of the NXT storylines that OP pointed out don't involve NXT rookies.

Have they just said f*** it again and who ever writes it is just doing things to amuse himself?

When NXT was on Syfy did it really do bad in ratings compared to Smackdown now? Cause if they are about the same they might as well bring back NXT on Syfy or put it in the timeslot for AM RAW.

I haven't watched NXT since about halfway through Season 2, and I have to ask, is it even about the rookies anymore? Do they even do eliminations or competitions? Why are there regular superstars feuding on the show?

Why are there regular superstars feuding on the show? They haven't done an elimination in about 2 months I think. 2 of this season's rookies and 2 of the pros have been released. They seem to be waiting for a tv deal for season 6. |
