so nxt is a brand now??
- Chris
  
  I'll be honest. I haven't been watching for months, but I was wondering what the concept was now….the bits I have caught seemed to involve no competition any more…..Is anyone ever going to get their 'Redemption'?
  - Lin
    
    It's looks to be a third brand, they done away with all the challenges, and several lower midcarders are over there and feuding with one and other
- Miguel
  
  It can be considered like a brand beacause they have changed the intro and almost all the pros are gone, and the competition was kinda already abandoned.
- Fernando
  
  It seems to me NXT has gone from a contest to a brand, I guess they'll use it as a way to acknowledge young talents.

I think it says more for the quality of NXT that I see this as a demotion for Regal.

To be fair as I hadn't been watching NXT I didn't realise it was a brand as such now. I wondered why we were occasionaly seeing Curt Hawkins going about like he ran a gentleman's club
