Better yet...
Steen costs Zayn the belt and says something like Zayn can never escape him anywhere, Zayn "loses career", Zayn goes to the main roster and is warmly greeted by fans, Zayn returns to NXT and pulls some Obi Won shit about how he's better than ever now that he's been struck down.
That's some fantasy booker T right there. #canyoudigthat

Charlotte's ready for prime time, goddammit. I just hope she fits in at a good spot. That's really the concern. I know she can deliver like FUCK in the ring, but if she's put in a shit program, well.
I don't know about digging that, but if I were Triple H I'd bury that idea.

They also mentioned he'd "leave WWE" if he lost, so no main roster get out.
My Theory:
Zayn wins the title. Steen music hits and he package piledrives him to end the pay per view.

There's always option 3:
And why not? It's an old school storyline that hasn't been used in a while, and we all know he could pull it off.
Zayn loses and it just so happens right around that time a brand new superstar joins NXT with the express purpose of getting Sami his job back.
His name is El Generico.

I''m thinking
Zayn finally wins the title, and during his celebration, Steen debuts and lays him out. Neville would probably get his rematch on NXT TV, and head up to the main roster in early 2015, while Zayn can feud with Steen for a while. I don't think Zayn's reign with the NXT title needs to be particularly long, it's more important that he finally win it after a year and a half of chasing it.

If Vince was given that information from the NXT writers he'll be like...
"They want to do what with who? AHAHAHAHAHAHA... Hey prop guy! Get this canuck a flannel shirt, and an axe."

That would be amazing
So imagine a backstage vignette where some wrestlers are watching WWE Network on a monitor. They're talking about how they remember that guy and wonder what happened to him, and the camera reveals a Kurt Angle match on the TV. Then the next week, one of the guys hears the voice of Kurt Angle. Then the week after that, Kurt appears in a ghost form, standing behind the guy. Maybe this is just him in some kind of weird makeup, or maybe it's a backstage video trick. But the idea is that no one can see him, like Warrior in WCW but even more ridiculous. Maybe he can even interfere in matches, dropping someone with an Angle slam and disappearing under the ring or something. Then as more people keep talking about him and it's like he is remembered by WWE canon, he has no makeup and is fully returned, but as a manager or something that occasionally does a run-in or whatever.
I like my wrestling when it's super dumb, not super insulting.

You think anything WWE branded will be headlined by Pac V Generico?
Wait...
Eh, they may do. It's treated like an indy fed anyway.
Dissapointed that the stip for Neville vs. Zayn pretty much guarantees the outcome, shouldn't have done that.
The thing I liked the most about the NXT Live Events so far is how I couldn't predict the winners at all, it could go either way in most of the matches they've had.

Remember when Sin Cara Azul fought Sin Cara Negro because Sin Cara Negro felt that Sin Cara Azul stole the name Mistico, so Negro decided to steal the name Sin Cara. That was my favourite Sin Cara storyline
Almost as good as Booker vs Big T for the rights to the letter T.
They won't... The rumours of WWE using "Fight Steen Fight" gimmick from his indie days are just somewhat true. Apparently they'll be repurposing his gimmick to fit a breast cancer awareness narrative. So now he'll be fighting breast cancer, but only one month out of the year. He will basically be the new Xanta Clause. Hmmm... That'll teach that indie scum.
Will he be allowed to wear pink?

I looked into it. The following month's main event was Deisel (champion) vs. Bulldog. So this it seems this was done to build their match.
They can do it so he loses and goes to the main roster, but I imagine this is his big win. Even without the stip, I would have fully expected him to finally win the big one, that's been the story since early 2014 after he ended his feud with Cesaro.

If the spoilers are correct, and they very well might now be, it's specifically his WWE career, not his NXT career that's on the line though.

Thanks to CM Punk nobody is going to be allowed to wrestle in WWE with their previous gimmick in tact - Sting being the lone exception.
Yet another case of ROH raiding PWG and using their shit to keep them afloat.
He won't be Kevin Steen. But they will acknowledge that he is Kevin Steen, like they did with KENTA and Prince Devitt. I think they will use the "Fight ___ Fight" phrasing too.

High hopes for Zayn vs Neville.
Match of the year potential written all over it!
Right up there with Ambrose vs Rollins, unless they overbook it to oblivion.
Triple H caught wind of Orton's vine popularity and wanted in :/

Eagerly awaiting the WM8 finish for Neville/Zayn where Neville has the ring bell, but chooses not to use it
Bonus points if Zayn uses it instead

The music group CFOS are a part of. Searching either of their names under Writers (WATTENBERG GREGG STEVEN and SALTMAN THOMAS SAMUEL) gives a list of all the NXT or WWE themes they've done, including the generic library themes. Amusingly, the address for "Screech Music" is still listed as World Wrestling Federation.
The main point is this one:
A song "Fight" for Kevin Steen. Also gives Finn Bálor's theme song as "Catch Your Breath".

Why would they need to compose a theme for Steen when they already have Tear Away licensed for WM X8 on the network?
Not sure of the timeline, but were Steen and Generico also tagging in PWG? I only really know of their Steen Wolf match. Otherwise, the stuff they did in ROH was gold. I was lucky enough to see one of their matches live. Mega intense.
