Don’t they have a TakeOver the night before? That was kind of a mess booking two shows at once. Also, I’d prefer not to have Raw booking anywhere near these nxt people or have nxt people shoehorned into random matches and teams Last year they had War Games the night before

Their next one this year is December 6th which is two weeks after Survivor Series.

And Kevin’s showed up for some reason

HHH unified NXT under one banner and they only fought together for that reason but the only team that had people feuding was the womens team which included women in the War Games matchup KO showed up to War Games because HHH invited someone from the main show to come to NXT and KO took that offer. It was supposed to lead to KO joining NXT but that got dropped

I actually thought they handlded it pretty well last year.
The NXT stars did not ignore their own hatred for each other ...Ciampa still wanted to kill Cole and he tried to but when it came to Raw and SD they came together to fend them off.
The womens NXT team was put together out of Rhea ripley simply respecting the women she just went to war with the previous night.

In truth, NXT's roster last year was really amazing. It was easy to buy them as being on the main roster level. I don't really think that's the case this year.

It likely won’t be War Games either, mainly due to the CWC arena being too small to house the two-ring setup War Games normally has.

Maybe they can move the show to the THUNDERDOME for one night only.

Just because you don't want to see a Sasha vs. whoever the other one is vs. Aaliyah match They can wrestle for a gold pair of little cat ears!

Just because you don't want to see a Sasha vs. whoever the other one is vs. Aaliyah match They can wrestle for a gold pair of little cat ears! I should have actually clarified that. The men's NXT roster doesn't feel like it stacks up. The NXT women's roster seriously eclipses the main roster though

Yeah right now there really isn't anyone on NXT I want to see mix it up with the main roster who hasn't already.

With how the injury bug ravaged the males in NxT im kinda glad they're not in it. Most of the guys I could see being on the team are either hurt or busy with a storyline

To them, NXT as a brand isn't on the same level as Raw and Smackdown. That couldn't be clearer, other than the month leading up to Survivor Series 2019 when NXT was suddenly superior and then nothing ever followed it up. The thing is that they undercut NXT's main wins on the night itself. Rhea only beat Sasha due to interference from her teammates, and Shayna's win over Becky/Bayley got instantly rendered meaningless by Becky's 'Hogan must pose' booking.

I mean, Shayna’s win would be meaningless regardless because NXT already won by that point. Unless the story was supposed to be “Will NXT get a bigger lead, Smackdown keep second place or Raw tie with Smackdown?” Because man, I felt my blood pumping as I was watching that all go down to see if two brands can tie!

The reason is probably a mix of things but COVID almost certainly made it a no brainer considering the NXT crew is now exclusively operating out of the Performance Center and not going anywhere near the Thunderdome.

It was already meaningless for the brand, but Becky beating her up after the match and posing meant that it was personally meaningless for Shayna as well. (Akin to how her dominant Elimination Chamber win meant nothing because she got rolled up in 8 minutes at Mania.)

The biggest downside to not having NXT at the Survivor Series is no wacky backstage segments involving Dexter Lumis.
Imagine:
The usual 24/7 Championship hijinks ensue and partway through the segment Lumis pops up and everyone slowly backs away, or the Street Profits and New Day are shooting the shit before their match and in pops Lumis and both teams react accordingly and hell even go all the way and have Lumis appear in the Firefly Funhouse now that would be a segment for the ages.
The possibilities are endless.
