When did I ever say anything about Reks and Hawkins? I'm not saying they're full of charisma either, but Titus and Young are two of the least charismatic guys on the entire roster esp Titus. I have a feeling you're overstating the reaction those two get.

Go back on Hulu and watch or just YouTube Darren Young's run as the man who ran NXT. Then get back to me

Like 'The man who runs NXT' even means anything. He also calls himself Mr No Days Off, you know other than those 30 for being suspended...

Mr No Days off was such a joke gimmick. I've been watching NXT for the past few months now. What about Titus in ring work or Darren Young in ring work? I love how you don't talk about that.

Percy Watson should be on Smackdown along with Reks and Hawkins... Watson connected with the fans well in his party guy OH YEAH gimmick and that should be bought back and go on Smackdown and Hawkins and Reks are an interesting duo.

Darren is better than Reks in the ring. Hawkins is the best of the 4. Titus is the worst.

Thing is Titus can crap on Reks on the mic in front of an audience which speaks to Tyler being bad, Morrison like bad. Hawkins and Young are about even on the stick depending on the material.

When it comes to getting the crowd involved though and interacting with them like a superstar is supposed to Titus, Young - gap - Hawkins, and Reks in that order.

Man ring work is one skill but mic work and overness matter. It is why guys like Clay and Santino are on tv every week while guys like Kidd and Hennig struggle for main brand time. The situation is no different as Reks and Hawkins may be the better wrestling team, but Yound and Titus are easily the better tandem of superstars which last I check is the job title at hand "superstar"

You've got to be kidding me right? O'Neil & Young moved to Smackdown over Reks & Hawkins? What idiot decided to do that!

This is why I don't watch NXT, and now this is why my interest in Smackdown has dwindled more. I just started getting interested in it again, but if O'Neil and Young are gonna be used frequently... no, not watching.

O'Neill needed to come to the main roster. I'm, not a fan of Young coming with but I guess they're making them a tag team. But Titus has a lot of scope to do good quality segments. Reks and Hawkins... not good enough for me tbh. Not entertaining in the slightest.

If you don't watch then you can't formulate an opinon! You can hate but not actually talk about why they deserve it over them because you know nothing about the on goings

Just wanted to clear something up for everyone. Just because Hawkins and Reks were fired on NXT doesn't mean they have been fired from WWE :p

If I was going to make a prediction I would say that Reks and Hawkins will probably be promoted to RAW next week by Johnny Ace. He is the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations so he will see talent in them and give them a job on the show. It wouldn't even surprise me if they are promoted to Smackdown as well next week.

Good point Troy.

Hawkins/Reks would be good on RAW. They could face Kofi/Truth, Santino/Brodus and kind of really get the tag team division alive.

However if that's the case, where does that leave the rest of the NXT Superstars (Bateman, Curtis, Riley, Tatsu... Anybody I miss) ?

Well Derrick Bateman is the only person left on NXT Redemption so I guess he wins. Titus and Darren made up the final three with him but now that they are promoted the season should be over. I mean who is Bateman supposed to compete against when the competition is gone?

The other jobbers that were on the show will end up on Superstars and getting squashed on RAW or Smackdown.

Not a bad match there from Ambrose, his finisher is not too bad either.
