WWE issued a most interesting survey to members of their mailing list yesterday, asking them to compare WWE's product to the product produced by WWE NXT.

The survey was designed to see how familiar fans were with NXT, what aspects of NXT fans enjoyed, then asked them to rank the enjoyment factor of the same aspects for the main roster.

One of the survey questions asked fans to pick which of the following terms described NXT and then the main roster: Energy, Authentic, Hardcore, Fantastical, Unique, Hokey, Excitement, Dangerous, Wrestling, PG-rated, Shocking, Quality, Technique, Wholesome, Fun, Unpredictable, In-Ring Action-Driven, Social, Action, Nostalgic, Mindless, Giving Promos, Intense, Passion, Old School, Imaginative, Safe, Success, Family friendly, Potential, Story-Driven, Younger, Cutting Edge, Real, Simple, Fast Paced, Mainstream, Traditional, Gritty.

The survey also asked questions about what fans liked and disliked the most about the WWE and WWE NXT products, allowing fans as much space as they wanted to contribute their opinions.

The survey also sought to see how much money fans spent on NXT live event and merchandise vs. the main roster.

The survey then asked whether WWE or WWE NXT did a better job (or an equal job) at the following:

*Seeing good rivalries/match-ups
*Feeling part of a large group of passionate fans
*Getting an appropriate amount of surprises
*Being amazed
*Being amused
*Being entertained
*Having a great show to watch with family
*Having a great show to watch with friends
*Seeing a wide variety of Divas
*Seeing enough of my favorite Divas
*Watching athletic moves and maneuvers
*Seeing the quality of in-ring wrestling I want
*Hearing compelling dialogue/promos
*Getting the right mix of unique characters
*Seeing a wide variety of Superstars
*Watching interesting stories play out
*Seeing enough of my favorite Superstars

So, as WWE seeks to improve their product, they are looking at what elements NXT is providing that the audience may enjoy more and how much of an impression the NXT brand is already making on their overall audience.

Looking at that list Raw loses every single one of those categories aside from "favorite Divas" and that's only because they took Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha from NXT a few months ago.

That's what I was gonna say lol. NXT has Bailey and Asuka, which mean they win for me.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Somehow you all forgot to mention Alexa Bliss. I'll assume that was an oversight on all of your parts.

Also... is anyone else warming up to Dana Brooke as a character? Not warming up as in actually starting to like her but more like starting to appreciate her?

I don't like Alexa, and honestly, I didn't like Dana until watching Breaking Ground.

I don't understand you. This sentence doesn't compute in my brain.

I've liked Dana since day one, I even liked her more when she was more serious with the total diva thing, last wednesday felt kinda wacky for me

I'm probably the only person who doesn't find her drop dead gorgeous. To me she just looks and feels like a Barbie doll Diva.
