Yeah Jericho could use a bit of polishing, hes lost 4 steps.

My guess is that the plan is to have him there, even with a big payday, because NXT is probably getting raided for talent soon. Sami Zayn, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor are all guys that could be moving on this year (not to mention Enzo and Cass).
My wild mass guess
is Zayn + one of Balor/Joe getting the call after WM and the other later in the year (maybe after SummerSlam or so). I expect Bayley to get called up too, but my wild mass guess that its not after WM, but later in the year as well. The well is not dry with Becky/Charlotte/Sasha. Paige has not gotten any work recently and I suspect they could very easily just pair any of those four off without a problem.
If all of those dudes move on, who is left?

AJ really needs a random match vs someone like Nevelle, it would be so spectacular.

I like how they use Neville. He's slotted straight into the Cesaro role and done a very good job at it.
Or he swallowed the steps
His upper body freaks me the fuck out. Like he ate a chessboard. Its not a fat thing, because his other limbs look normal and his legs and even head.

I'm gonna laugh the moment I hear Michael Cole say "up later is our main event: a six-man tag featuring Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles and the Big Show teaming up to take on the disciples of the Wyatt family!"
look how much they're paying Del Rio and look how they're treating him
WWE has more money than god. I don't think they think about it that hard. pretty sure Balor is getting paid and he's been in NXT forever. it's going to be the same deal with Nakamura because, to them, this Japanese dude needs to learn the WWE style and system.
even though he's already performed in front of tens of thousands in a Mania-like atmosphere multiple times

It genuinely ruined that 2 out of 3 falls match for me with Kallisto because it was setup around 4 times in various ways, it's also something of a pacing killer.
The only issue I have with Balor's stomps is that considering the turnbuckle one is a finisher it makes the ground one seem sorta redundant in his moveset.

I mean, it's "easy" to get there since you can fly into DFW airport from pretty much anywhere.
I live not even 25 minutes from the stadium and still haven't decided if I want to go or not. Having been to Cowboys' games before, I know what a cluster that area is when it's 60-70k people trying to get in/out of there. Can't imagine what 100k+ will do.

It is pretty funny that basically every guy you've heard of from about 3 years ago now works for WWE. The hilarity compounds when you consider they have all these guys, and Roman Reigns.

Come on, with what you saw of the product for the last 6 months, you really thought that 1) 100,000 people (who we're assuming have brains) bought tickets to see a more expensive version of this mess and 2) nobody (or at least an insignificant amount) sold said tickets as said 6 months progressed and said product became noticeably shittier

Didn't Del Rio get to walk straight in and win a 40 man rumble for the title?
It's weird. Nak in NXT while the man he shared an early MOTY candidate with just a few weeks ago gets to bypass NXT altogether. I don't really get it either.
Not just main roster, main event money.

It's WWE. Stephanie/Vince/HHH will be scheduled to head to the ring halfway through the show and announce an attendance record, whether they've managed to break one or not.

Searched a bit and didn't see it posted but Rolling Stone put up an interview with Kenny Omega. Talked about Nakamura and the others leaving as well as teasing more about his feud with Xavier and the New Day.

They replaced a vanilla giant with a vanilla midget?
Remember what happened to Sin Cara?
Nakamura even said he didn't follow WWE at all, I'm not even sure he's watched any shows, let alone know the style.

I have to imagine it will happen. They're both signed for a couple of years, so why not?
Cena, we need you!

NXT is WWE's premium brand, it doesn't mean they still need work to be on Raw, it simply means they're a better fit in NXT at the moment. Don't fret.
Creepy. She lives here in Tulsa but works in the tiny town of Haskell.
Edit: She wants a name.

With Albertas, wwe needed the Hispanic star power so throwing money at your guy that was over was so much easier. Kalisto is going to be that guy soon but in WWE they love having Hispanic v Hispanic to get them over. I think it's strangr.
You right, with that being the case then NXT will need some new blood as well. They have Naka, Apollo, Aries and the Libre guy they signed. It'llbe very strange especially with them wanting to tour but no huge guy like Finn. Maybe Naka can open up eyes like Finn has done.
As far as Bayley goes, that'll be a different story.
"this all stems from Smackdown two weeks ago when Bray Wyatt interfered in the main event of Balor vs Nakamura, non-title, distracting Nakamura and letting Balor get the roll up for the win. It is still unclear why Wyatt is targeting the Japanese superstar but one thing is for sure JBL, The Eater of Worlds will stop at nothing to destroy Nakamura"
"Yes Maggle, look at this here from last weeks Raw, BRAUN STROWMAN, just ragdolling poor AJ after his loss to Dolph Ziggler, oh my LORD look at the power of that man, I don't even think the giant Big Show will be able to stop this kind of destruction befalling his little pals"
etc etc.

They've got the Hispanic star in NXT with La Sombra! But yeah, Apollo is nowhere near ready to carry NXT. He's got a great look and he's got in-ring skill, he just needs to work on the promo work, which I think will come when he settles on a character that's not "generic babyface."
Also, I've said it once, I'll say it a bunch: Bayley gonna be a big hit on the main roster.

Neville showed more personality in the Zayn feud than I've ever seen out of Cesaro tbh

Lemme just PM you a photo instead of...this other stuff. You can then confirm or deny.
Ah, man. I'm going to have to show her a picture? That's weird. You're weird. What a weirdo.
Bluekaveli
Member
Yeah, Sombra was who I was referring to.
I've not seen much of Apollo but everyone has reiterated exactly what you said of him.
Bayley could be the next Sting or Steamboat but it depends on if Vince is willing to allow that. But her merchandise sells are something serious so I could see him not messing up a good thing.

No, I PMed you a photo of her, you should HOPEFULLY be able to tell if this is the same person
#dead
Wait. What? Same person? Like, we're seeing the same girl or something? Hahaha. That's silly. You're silly, NeoGAF Vince McMahon.
Edit: I see girl. I've never seen girl. Is she wearing a Joy Division shirt? What a hipster.
Anyway, I'll show the picture to my speech path friend and we'll see if there's any crossover. xoxo

What can I say? Better safe than sorry. We ARE in the same town.
I don't think they planned to keep Bálor down there for so long, but now he's like the face of NXT headlining all these touring shows, they kinda need him for those.
Would be amazing. But you're the Big E to my Kofi. Too diff for crossover appeal.

Her character is basically Female John Cena except crowds react to her like she's Female Daniel Bryan.

Hahaha... You seem on edge, pal. This is gettin' too reeeal for NVM!
Anyway, my friend doesn't know your friend.
Is she really female John Cena though? Does she smirk and laugh off all threats, use kayfabe breaking against heels who can't do the same, or make poop jokes, or throw tantrums til she gets what she wants?
