I think NXT is great as a wrestling show. It is telling though that they aren't really growing too many people from the ground up for the big stage. All the biggest and best names are guys like Joe, Owens, Zayn, Balor, who's only real mission in NXT is to acclimate themselves to the way WWE does TV. The homegrown guys are great for NXT but does a guy like Enzo really translate to the bigger stage? Probably not, but that doesn't make him any less fun to watch in NXT. See also, Adam Rose, Ascension (OK, they really didn't have a prayer), Lucha Dragons etc. Roman Reigns is pretty much the only guy who was developed from the ground up who has become a big star on the main roster.

Now, the women are a whole different story. I think their talents may be a little overstated based on them only working with each other so long, but if they have good matches, who cares. If they can get the next batch of women into that group then you're looking at 8-10 solid main roster women and that's more than enough to carry the division for a good long time.
