With the Wyatt Family recently promoted to the main roster from NXT I wanted to find out who people would like to see get the next promotion.

There is a lot of talent down in developmental right now and thankfully it is much easier for fans worldwide to follow their progress than it was when it was FCW. NXT is shown worldwide and is actually one of the better wrestling shows out there. It actually features logical storylines and keeps things relatively simple which is all you need. There are quite a few, relatively, well known names down in developmental but which one do you want to see on RAW or Smackdown next?

Paige? Khassius Ohno? Adrian Neville? The Ascension? Leo Kruger? :D

NOTE: If you want to have a look at the roster head here WWE.com: WWE NXT | Latest News, Results, Videos, Photos, and More and just scroll down the page a little.

Xavier Woods. I don't know what gimmick he's running with right now (someone care to hook me up with any footage?) but this is a smart guy both in the ring and generally as a psychology and philosophy graduate with a number of years working TV behind him already at 26! He needs to be in front of television crowds because he is a guy they could really make the future.

Ohno and Kruger seem to have been ready for a little while now but neither really does a whole lot for me, for personal preference I want to see Neville... dude is crazy talented and would be SOOOOOOO over with the crowd...

This is the guy that I want to see promoted as well. He showed in TNA that he is comfortable in front of camera and he was good on Impact. Has been in developmental for over three years now so the time is coming for him where they either give him a shot or let him go. I think that it would be easy to get him over on the main roster, talented wrestler that can talk and has a good look.

I've been screaming OhNo Ever since he debuted, but until he loses the extra pounds and Wade stops stealing his gimmick he's gonna be on NXT for another year. I would love to see Sami on the main shows too he mad talented and could have great matches but I wish they would put the mask back him cause IMO WWE clearly need a masked guy for the fans to get behind cause Rey is pretty much done at this point :( and Sin Cara is the biggest joke I have seen in quite some time.

They've recently signed Samuray Del Sol to a developmental deal. He wears a mask, but they could easily take it off him when he finally has a match.

I'd say Ohno and Sami Zayn but I doubt there's room for them to do anything major on the main roster at the mo so I'd rather they waited until they had something good for them. If they're trying to rebuild the tag team division it might be worth bringing in The Ascension or Dylan/Dawson. Anyone but Bo Dallas really.

I Don't Really Follow NXT But I Seem To Hear The Most About Paige.

I Think Her Costing Kaitlyn The Title Sunday Would Be A Good Debut.

Lose extra pounds?

Havent watched nXt in some time but last time I saw he was skinny as hell and needed to bulk up.

Waahtever PAC is called now, he looked exciting and had a sick finisher. Also Paige is hot and thats basically all you need to be a successful diva.

I wouldn't mind seeing Paige called up because the Ladies Division is so poor right now and there are little or no called challengers waiting for AJ after tonight.

Never really been a fan of Pac just seems like a gymnast who doesn't sell anything. Still he has been quite poplar on the indie scene and is different to most things they have right now.

I want to see Woods but I can see WWE promoting Paige next. See seems to be the most "ready" out of the whole developmental roster and has a character that will work immediately on the main roster. There is no need to repackage her or change anything about her and so it would be easy to promote her next month if they wanted. AJ does need a new challenger soon so Paige could be the answer.

I don't get how there wasn't more of a negative response towards his new gimmick, it's a blatant rip-off of Ohno's.

I think he's ready for the main roster though, even if Barrett doesn't change it. I'm sure he's learned enough over the past year or so to be suitable enough for the main roster.

I've been hearing some decent things about Corey Graves. I've only seen one match of his, but I enjoyed it. Woods is a must. Ohno seems ready enough, and it would be awesome to see him have a confrontation with Punk.
