There are reports going around that NXT talents are unhappy about pay and not receiving raises after NXT debuted on the USA Network. Wrestler David Starr commented on the situation:
Do your research Starr and stop looking for any excuse to have a cause against the “BIG BAD” , this was a report before they moved to USA network and everyone there got a raise https://t.co/x5MdQ3ml8V

I’ve literally spoken to NXT talent that has been bumped up to TV recently and they had a roster meeting with management where they were told their TV pay raises weren’t coming. https://t.co/LGMJ31LZjk

Casey Michael of squaredcirclesirens.com also retweeted the following:
Number of NXT talents been more vocal about their frustrations. Lack of opportunity. Not seeing an increase in pay. HHH is going to have to do an all hands meeting to hear them out & work on some solutions to their grievances. If not, he's going to have an uprising to deal with.
