Re: Brand Split 2.0

I don't think they can take Joe, Nakamura, and Finn. Someone has to be the man for nxt.

There's Aries, Roode, that I can name off the top of my head. Also they are probably going to signing new guys from NJPW, ROH, or maybe you know they can build new stars.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

I think NXT loses American Alpha, Balor, Bayley, Nia Jax, Aries and either Carmella, Joe, Nakamura or No Way Jose

I do see a few shock picks like Rhyno, Tajiri and Kendrick

Aries, maybe. I still can't see them taking all 3.

Yea I don't either, it's just my hopes. I also only think one Diva gets a call up and it's Nia Jax.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Only 6 NXT stars are coming up, not too many.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Also I wanna change my top 3 teams/factions to break up. Due to something Mill pointed out to me on Twitter.

Former:
The Club (w/ AJ)
Enzo & Cass
New Day

Now:
Wyatt Family
The Club (w/ AJ)
Enzo & Cass

Reason for the Wyatt family automatically jumping to the top is that they are not listed as a tag team, so all 4 have to get drafted separately.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Any guesses at 6 NXT picks?

I'd hope:
Finn, Roode, Aries, Joe, Bayley, American Alpha.

Joe could drop title at takeover to Nakamura possibly?

my guess is Tye Dillinger, Balor, Bayley, AA, Joe, Nia Jax.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

They aren't gonna just raid all of NXT's top talent. Nakamura and Balor probably stay. Ratings will be higher in anticipation of big names coming up, regardless. Disappointed viewers are still viewers lol. WWE has been living off that for years.

Remember they're still somewhat of a developmental. They still have a bunch of talent that are probably ready to make their TV debut that haven't yet, they just signed a couple of talent ( EY, Roode, and Aries) and you'll probably have some talent coming over from EVOLVE and the CWC. I say with exception of whomever is champions in NXT, we're going to see a huge change in NXT.


The main talent that I think is staying in NXT are:


Nia Jax
Revival
Asuka
Joe
A Double
EY
Roode

I think Joe will be there until at least Royal Rumble.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Balor, Nia Jax and American Alpha would be my top guesses. I think Nakamura and Bayley stick around NXT a little longer, although both really should already be on the main roster. Itami is another one that could get his name called.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Nakamura shouldn't be drafted yet. Still needs time developing his promo skills down in NXT.

But even if NXT were to lose Finn,Joe,Aries,Bayley and stuff, they'd still have Nakamura,Itami,Samson,Dillinger on the mens side and Asuka,Bliss,Carmella,Jax(if she doesn't get drafted) for females. Not to mention some CWC competitors could also get NXT contracts, performance center talent could get call to TV events, and on females side, they've slowly been introducing new talent as well to TV. And of course an easy way to get talent...sign them from other companies.


NXT has proven it past 2 years, they can keep on building new talent. Having likes of Rollins,Neville,Wyatt Family,Paige among others early on, then Zayn,Owens,Charlotte,Sasha,Becky among others, followed by Balor,Joe,Bayley,Asuka,Nakamura and so on. They'll have no problem getting new talent to takeover(no pun intended)

They could, though. Owens was NXT champ and feuding with Cena at the same time. You could draft Joe and just have him do TV for a month, while still working NXT shows up until TakeOver, where he'd lose the title and then join RAW or Smackdown full-time.

While NXT has clearly morphed into its own brand, it is still a developmental territory and WWE should be doing everything possible to improve RAW and Smackdown. NXT will be just fine even if they lose Balor, Joe, Nakamura and Bayley on Tuesday.

C'mon man, no he doesn't.

[Majingir]

Re: Brand Split 2.0

C'mon man, no he doesn't.

You really think based on what we've seen in NXT, his promo skills are enough to attract the Mr.McMahon styled shows?


Unless all this promo stuff on NXT isn't for real and he actually knows english way better than he's letting on in NXT, cause I haven't seen any promos or anything from him outside of NXT.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

C'mon man, no he doesn't.

Why do you think he's in NXT? If WWE didn't want him to work on his English and promos, he would've debuted on the main roster like A.J. Styles.
