“I love it. I mean I’ve done so many interviews where I said it’s a viable third brand even before it got on the USA Network, and now that it’s obviously been on the USA Network for a year, then it only furthers my case and I know there are still people out there that view it as a developmental brand and I wish those people would get out of their own way. Because for some reason, they look at that as a negative thing, but if you look at it in that sense, RAW is a developmental brand, SmackDown is a developmental brand, NXT’s developmental. We’re all still growing. I mean everything should be a developmental brand at this point. I think everything is interchangeable. We’ve seen people like Finn Balor come back. We’ve seen people like Ember Moon come back, we’ve seen people move on. I believe in my heart of heart that NXT is a third brand and for people out there that say things like, ‘Oh, Undisputed ERA should leave. They’ve been there too long’ or, ‘Tommaso should leave, he’s been there too long’ or, ‘Johnny should leave. He’s been there for too long.’ You weren’t saying the same thing about Seth Rollins on SmackDown. You weren’t saying the same thing about Seth Rollins [when] he was on RAW. I never saw that narrative where, ‘Seth Rollins should leave RAW.’ No one ever said that. So I think everyone should just calm down, enjoy the content, enjoy the matches you see and I think everything will be good.”

Don't think Johnny Gargano understands what the word "developmental" means since the main goal of developmental is to not get stuck there since that would mean something went wrong with your training and progress. Same for the main brands can't be developmental since that's the "major league" of WWE in terms of a sports perspective.
If a main roster talent gets sent down, in a normal sports sense that would mean either they are rehabbing an injury and using the minors to get back into top level production shape or they are struggling and need to go down a level to work out some issues.
WWE's whole developmental system and call-up system has been messed up for years because of a few morons running things in the company.
