And why the hell would they have put Charlotte, their biggest female star to a casual audience, on NXT and made her champion at this same time? Was that somehow forced by the Saudi ordeal too? They were trying to make it a legit 3rd brand by presenting it to their main audience as on par with Raw and Smackdown. And it was dumb.

To the large majority of the Raw/Smackdown audience, some indy guys came in, went over the guys they watch every week and then vanished. Lol
There wasn’t really a war, dude. It was a short-term angle. Hence why it ended short-term. Yes, people absolutely would have complained if NXT was sent packing. 100%. People are complaining that they won.

There a bunch of reasons to put Charlotte in a different environment. A fresh use for Charlotte herself. A chance to look at Rhea Ripley. Taking one NXT program and giving it the Mania stage to encourage people to check it out (not a giant marketing campaign to go all-out). I don’t get how someone sees Charlotte in NXT and goes “Holy shit, the WWE are REALLY trying here!” I feel like I’m repeating myself, but it makes no sense. A proper Raw/NXT crossover? Sure. That’d be them hot-shotting both sides. But sending Charlotte to NXT for a temporary spell? No.
