WWE General Discussion Thread

[Ricky Smarks]

Taken last night at the WWE RAW House Show in St. Louis teacher reunited with student. I know Sara and Sarah are the trainers but Bayley was a huge locker room leader to the younger/less experiences females down at the P.C.

Looks like Liv Morgan owes a lot to Bayley. It's interesting she worked a Raw house with Sasha and Bayley.

Possible indicator?

She'd flounder. Just stay in NXT and stop rushing people up even though this pic means nothing.

There was talk recently about calling up some NXT talents and Liv Morgan was mentioned. Also NXT talents tour separately, so if she's appearing on Raw shows in matches with Raw Superstars, it's not entirely nothing. Doesn't mean she's getting a call, but clearly WWE is trying her out.

As for her floundering, I completely agree. She's still very green. As a fan of her look and passion, I don't want her up before she's ready. I don't believe WWE has a problem rushing people, though. In a lot of ways I feel they have a problem with keeping people down there too long. Liv, though, isn't ready I'll agree to that.

Feels like there's been way more calls up that were rushed, but i'd argue that Crews, Corbin and Carmella all were called up too early to an extent.

Some of those call-ups were because of the draft and WWE needed to fill out their rosters.

For the most part NXT takes its time with its talents. Corbin I'd say is hitting some good strides right now.

Wwe already gutted the NXT women's roster in the draft. Idk why they need to bring up another

Problem is all the women's divisions are shallow. I think WWE care more about Raw and SmackDown Live.

I'm hoping the 2017 Women's Tournament will at least alleviate some of this problem.

Still doesn't mean it's not an early call-up. I like Corbin and agree that's he starting to hit his step but I feel as though he could have had an awesome run as a heel NXT Champion with his tirade against all the independent stars that were being signed and could have benefited from it hugely

I don't think that was ever going to happen. Do you believe they would have given it to Corbin over Nakamura?

 

[Dale]

Well I can't remember who the NXT champ was at the time (Balor?) but I seem to remember Corbin feuding with Crews and Joe and i'm pretty sure that was before Nakamura debuted

I can't see the line not going Balor to Joe to Nakamura.

As much as I like Corbin, I can't seen him ever breaking that main event in NXT.

 

[Shane]

Corbin's that one star that would get called up without ever main eventing in NXT. doesn't surprise me. He was Austin Aries' debut feud then got called up immediately after.

That's right. Wasn't that Dallas when Joe was already facing Balor?

Idk what show it was but Aries beat Corbin and he debuted on Raw within like a month.

 

[Dale]

If you can't break into the main event in NXT, then he shouldn't ever be a main eventer on the main roster.

That's a huge problem with NXT as good as a farm system it's been, apart from the very start with Bo and Big E every champion was an independant name / star.
