And what proof do you have of that?
NXT was able to draw a comparable crowd to the main roster and got better, more favorable reactions. If that doesn't prove that their way of booking can draw, I don't know what would.
You are stretching way to hard. Stop. I get you like NXT, like many people do in this thread. It's fine.

Stretching how? Don't try to just dismiss it. All I said are facts. NXT did, in fact, draw a comparable crowd to Backlash.

Kicks to at the midsection.
Really good showing from Sampson. Make their match a triple threat.

PUSH SAMPSON.
The crowd of NXT for one event doesn't equate to it's overall popularity. There are things that NXT does well, but it doesn't all reach the masses.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I guess the Miz actually watches wrestling

Great debut from The Drifter.
Why is this match happening?
Why is this match happening?
Bray cut a Bray promo saying he's going to beat Lesnar. Roman comes out, my yard, blah blah blah. Kurt Angle then comes out and starts a match between the two of them immediately. They wrestle a bit and then Samoa Joe comes out to help Bray, then Seth comes out to fight Joe, so now we got a tag match for the main event.
EDIT: Whoever took out Enzo is now my favorite wrestler.

It's not one event though. They consistently draw big crowds for Takeover events that are comparable to the WWE big shows.
That's an indication of popularity.
It definitely isn't more popular, but it's a lot more praised.

When did I ever say that? lol stop
My point is that NXT booking works and the guys are over to the degree that a crowd comparable to the crowds WWE draws for their big shows is reacting to them more favorably and loudly than WWE can muster.
That's an indication that NXT's booking is better than WWE's.
Agreed! WOOOOOO.
NXT isn't more popular then WWE because NXT is WWE.
That's like saying Smackdown is more popular then WWE.

It's mostly because those are smark locations.
And that too Takeover events.
NXT week in week out won't even draw half of what SD or RAW does. It's sad but true. I like NXT way more but typical WWE audience wants a dumbed down product and Vince doesn't dare to change what is working.
Sigh. It's not.
Of course it's WWE, but we are comparing one very specific brand to everything else.

I bet Natalya jumped Enzo. She has a record of doing that in the past.

No one is arguing that NXT is bigger than WWE.
The point is that NXT's way of booking is better at getting guys over than WWE's. I don't see how you could argue against that.
