Needing two tries to get Zaria is very questionable Shawn.

Gail Kim was backstage at this week’s NXT. It also wasn’t the first time she’s been there of late. It has been said that WWE has been interested in bringing her on board since she became available. When asked if she’s officially with the company, WWE sources said she isn’t as of this moment. The company has kept her presence at shows very quiet. -

Oh the Irony that Gail ends up doing at NXT will send some fans who said, it WWE that got her sacked after she was pushing back against the Deal TNA.

I think she's one of the best Women Wrestlers ever and she would be a massive gain for the next women's division as a coach/ Producer.

WWE has rehired, Shayna Baszler in a producer role. She was listed alongside Chris Girard for the Kelani Jordan vs Lainey Reid match.

I'm very conflicted. I absolutely adore Tony D'Angelo by far probably one of my favorite wrestlers currently i think I haven't been this invested in a weekly story of a wrestler in a very long time to me I put his whole nxt run up there with Tommaso/Johnny story. I am conflicted one a couple of fronts

#1: Tony d'angelo clearly very over but is he sustainable on the main roster.

#2: I don't particularly love the idea of him dropping The Don gimmick. I know it had to go there with Stacks & Luca but it really just left a bad taste in mouth as I really did want to see The Family together on the main roster. Tony has the chops he can cut a promo and honestly he's better suited I think than most. He's definitely paid his dues in NXT and all good things have to come to an end and this week's NXT definitely gave him a nice end.

The whole Family gimmick was likely too much for a HHH lead era. You were never going to get all those restaurant/backroom etc skits on Raw or SD which you really need to make that gimmick work.

They might just scale it back to how he was at the start of 2.0 where he was doing the underhanded stuff of paying off the referees etc.

Tbf you think it would be much different off then what they do with Judgment Day?

The Family is way more over the top and cheesy than TJD

I was meaning more with the backstage segments lol

Then still no, I just don't see a world where they're producing these cinema-y style vignettes on the regular for a lower card act.
