Read my add on to my previous post. Owens and Zayn will not be half as good or heavy a feud as Steen vs Generico. There's no backstory to the two, which was what made Sten vs Generico so impactful. The fact that they had been partners for 10 years before feuding.
What will be Owens motivation? Why does he want Zayn to lose other than "LOL I'M A HEEL!"?
And if you do this feud? What then? Where does Owens go from there?
Them feuding from the start is wasting a feud they should do in 2-4 years on the main roster, hopefully with a tag run before it
You're right to an extent. It wouldn't have the same impact like what they did in ROH.
It's just my personal preference, it's not like it's bound to happen. I wouldn't be shocked if it did, though. Plus, this feud could be done on NXT, as well as on the main roster later on... Much like Rollins/Ambrose in FCW and on the main roster. It wouldn't hurt one iota, imo.
So, let's just say Zayn loses at Takeover... Either clean or dirty or by DQ (with Neville turning heel). What then? He 'leaves' the company, as in gets called up to the main roster? That's how I see it.
