NXT is Worth the WWE Network Price of $9.99

When the WWE Network made its debut in February of this year, many fans bought it so they wouldn’t have to pay the $50-60 price for a pay-per-view every month.

WWE (probably just Vince McMahon) feels that the quality of PPVs needs to fit the cheaper price than what the fans have been paying over the years. That has been shown with WWE not wanting to put Brock Lesnar on this month’s Hell in a Cell PPV or for the rest of the year.

"Brock Lesnar is not currently advertised for any pay-per-views or RAWs through the end of the year. It should be noted that Lesnar’s other appearances this year were advertised months in advance. Lesnar has worked four pay-per-views so far this year, which is the most PPVs he’s worked in a calendar year since he returned to the company in 2012. With no real program for him and his hefty price tag, it remains to be seen if Lesnar will defend the title before The Royal Rumble in January."

While the PPVs are still a primary focus of WWE, how good or bad it is doesn’t seem to make a difference to them anymore, even though the Superstars go out there and try to put on their best performance. This has made fans upset with their purchase (and six month commitment). However, there is no reason to be too upset when there’s an excellent wrestling show taking place at Full Sail University known as NXT.

NXT is fully controlled by Triple H, who has turned the show into its own brand. The production quality never fails, from the created storylines, the promos, and even to the little details like the camera work. It is also executed to perfection, something that the main roster shows have been far from while in McMahon’s control.

How often do you hear someone say “Raw and SmackDown were both painful to watch.”

There are critics of Raw and SmackDown on a weekly basis. No one has anything good to say about WWE’s top two shows anymore except for Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Everything else seems to be poorly produced by the backstage staff, as well as McMahon “losing his touch” with his business.

When was the last time you heard someone say “Wow, this past week’s NXT show was awful!”

I can’t remember the last time I heard that sentence. Every week, the fans are never left disappointed. Plus, NXT arguably has a handful of “Match of the Year” candidates that triumph most WWE matches.

The live events that they have put on once every three months have not failed once. ArRival, Takeover, and Takeover: Fatal 4-Way were all incredible shows that kept fans on the edge of their seats while also clamoring for more. We saw that recently on September 11 when an Adrian Neville-Sami Zayn feud was teased for the majority of the match as well as the ending of the contest.

Speaking of Neville and Zayn, you can also see them and the rest of the talent in Florida’s journey to WWE. Seeing them develop their in-ring skills and mic work is an interesting watch. You can currently see that happening with Baron Corbin, who has burst onto the scene with a unique gimmick and devastating finisher. He is a raw wrestler, however, so an eye will be kept on him to see how he improves.

There are many more reasons why NXT is worth the $9.99 buy. This post would be endless if all of them were evaluated in detail.

Do you feel that NXT is worth the WWE Network price?
