Could NXT, despite WWE being it's parent company, stand alone from Raw and Smackdown and could it perform will if it had a degree of automony from WWE HQ
It already does. It's HHH/Steph's project and wrestlers have much more creative freedom to do whatever they want. Last night, they brought in New Japan legend, Jushin Thunder Liger, to work the opening match and recognised him as the pioneer of the junior-heavyweight style which influenced much of what we see today in addition to the innovator of the Shooting Star Press.
NXT is essentially an indie promotion under the umbrella of the WWE.
