“That’s obviously incredibly intriguing and interesting. Right now, I think we are still in the very beginning stages of that, exploring the different possibilities. And those are all things we’re going to look at going forward. Obviously [I’m] very pleased to know that these are partnerships that WWE is now open to, and I think that makes for unlimited possibilities."

“Now, what the specifics of all those are as we go into the future, that’ll be decided by people certainly more important than me. But for me, getting to be the benefactor of having at your utilization all these different talent is very exciting for us. So, as we continue to explore those opportunities going forward, I think it’s going to make for some pretty fantastic dream matches that are possible out there that I think a lot of people are going to want to see.”

Can only speak for the NXT TV side but I think they've done a really good job finding their feet with it. They've not rushed in and introduced a shit load of people just for the sake of having a match or an appearance but just a couple of people and had them in storylines straight away.

I don't want to sound negative but it seems a little one sided for NXT

 

[Chris]

If you're just looking at the talent sent over, yes. But I don't think people really understand that NXT is risking putting time into people that don't even work for their company and could end up choosing not to sign with them despite the time put into them (unlikely I know). It's not really that different from people being skeptical of Ospreay going over in Wembley last year when he could have still signed with WWE.

The talent that have appeared on WWE have benefited the most, they're the winners over either company. TNA has had better attendances recently, so you can't discount that even though I think there's other reasons for it than the possibility of WWE talent appearing. NXT hasn't particularly had rating spikes after the initial surprise either.

That's true, just saying Joe Hendry is looking like a mega star. Jordynne Grace is the champion. While maybe Wes Lee with the Rascalz was the biggest send. I'll admit I like Tatum Paxley, NQCC and Dante Chen respectfully they're not big names. I just thought maybe Roxy or Trick could make an appearance

 

[Dale]

I mean the biggest surprise is Nattie not being over there yet, dunno what the hold up has been outside of her contract running close to expiring

send Lexis King to TNA so I can see him and Johnny Swinger do some funny shit.

 

[Daddy Dom]

[Daddy Dom]

[Tyler2]

Longshot but wouldn't mind Top Dolla making a surprise return to NXT
