I understand your thought process, but why is NXT so good? Part of it is because they are at Full Sail University most of the times, with the exclusion of big events. This is a niche. NXT is great because it is not exposed on a huge stage each week. It is also great because the crowd there does so much. If you bring it live before Raw, it feels too commercial. To keep growing it is one thing, but to try to place it in front of Raw each week is another.

If you think taping it and putting on delay before could be a solution, then maybe. I just do not think WWE will ever do something like that. They want to keep them as separate as possible.
