Discussion: Do you feel all of WWE's recent debuts could lead to diminishing returns?

[Comrade Khan]

Discussion topic is pretty straight forward. WWE has had a string of returns/debuts over the last month or two, sometimes in back to back weeks. Some people had issues with AEW doing this and felt this leads to diminishing returns and a possible bloated roster. Now, I don't believe we are near that point currently but if this trends continue, do you think it may be a problem? Do you think more is better or do you think less is more? Do you agree with all the people brought back?

Returns thus far (please correct if I miss one):
Hit Row (sans Swerve)
Braun Strowman
Jonny Gargano
Dexter Lumis
Karrion Kross and Scarlet
** Bray Wyatt heavily teased**
Dakota Kai
Iyo Sky** re-signed

Spoiler: spoiler

Candice LaRea

Please attempt to keep the discussion civil and not a pissing contest between both companies

I think the roster is getting way to stacked for everyone having somethig to do. Take your list for example, just using the names on the list that's pretty much enough for a full show. Not counting the champions or call ups not listed.

What I said about AEW still stands with what Triple H is doing.

Candice LeRae coming out last night wasn't exactly Gargano a few weeks ago.

Let's be honest here, so far the only return who seems to be moving any needle is Braun.

I feel it's fine with the amount of air time WWE has for all 3 shows as they have more than AEW but it also allows for him to make some changes in a direction plus it allows him to send some down to NXT or repackage them as needed. I think it allows for them to be more fluid with things overall.

If they keep bringing a ton more back then it is a problem bit I think for now it's been fine.

Right now it's fine. To me the difference between wwe and aew is that WWE has five hours of tv time for their larger roster. AEW does not.

LaRea ?

Agreed. They're (re)signing too many people and it's going to end up like AEW. It annoys me because I am pretty happy about everyone they signed back, but other people will be left out eventually. Like, if Charlotte, Becky, Carmella and Zelina came back, where would they fit?

Or who do they start dropping?


Like Dolph was finally involved in decent storyline again but then gone like a fart in the wind.

Triple H would look like a dumbass after bringing back so many people only to release a bunch of others like they did when Vince was the boss.
I trust him to know what he's doing, but he needs to stop bringing people back every week. Hopefully it stops after Bray.

I just don't know what you do with them all. ECWE v2 TV-14 alternative? I know I know.

I mean it seems like Triple H was bringing back people that Vince wrongly let go. Unlike Tony seemed like he was signing damn near 99% of what WWE was letting go thinking he was hitting it big time.

Zero reason to ever question where Charlotte and Becky would fit in. Zelina and Mella can/probably will continue doing what they've done for the majority of their careers, which is virtually nothing, and I think that's gonna be the case regardless of how many people they do or don't sign.

I'm fine with it, hell he can still bring back more for my liking so long as it's not a bunch of bums like Lorcan, Burch etc who aren't ever gonna do shit. The roster had been getting gutted constantly and this just feels like his way of replenishing it and rectifying the mistakes.

Braun is a credible main eventer like him or hate him.
Kross is a main event act and on the way.
Hit Row are good bodies to have for the rebuilding of the tag division.
Gargano & Ciampa are utility guys, can bounce around anywhere on the card outside the main event.
Lumis is a wild card and does great character work.
SKY & Kai are top additions to womens division/

Are you really asking where two main event women in Becky & Charlotte fit in the current landscape?

Not even close to 99%. Was like 10%

No I said other people will be left out, and then asked where they will fit when these four are all back. Women like Doudrop, ASH, Aliyah, Raquel etc...
