The price is it's without the stability of a permanent roster.
I don't mean to put wrestling fans down, generally any popular thing fandom that it relies in repetition and greatest hits.
Take music biz for example and you see the old faces do their 60th anniversary farewell tour, singing a song they wrote in their late teens to sold out crowds because their shit is familiar, formulaic and that's what sells the most unless you are the hottest new band in town riding some wave - that'd be something like the Attitude era and that relied on a somewhat steady environment with steady cast of stars to pull off, NXT don't got that luxury, currently.
It's a bit of an oxymoron as it's also the reason why NXT is so good, why it's like a loose cannon of a show. It has always been trying to do more with less pull and it traditionally hasn't had as many legs to stand on. Its cast usually have limited time runs and are seen being midway to main roster or getting let go so they are expected to not matter but I find it this is where they do their best work as they are more hungry to get to that next level on the main even if they are on the top of NXT cards.
