That's a shame. Dude looked great and thought they were going to do the "umaga push" with him. But dropped as quickly as it started.

If we’re being honest, best part about Jinder was his theme music :side:

I didn't mind Jinder's run as world champion, it was refreshing after another one from Orton.

Yeah, and the draft was still fresh enough and with clear separation between shows it really felt like Smackdown was trying something different to build stars.

Xia just didn't hit the necessary WWE checkboxes.

They have enough Mid with Tama Tonga and Solo... actually mid is being too kind to Xyon tbh.
Dude's been wrestling for a couple of years, he had time to improve, unlike Xia who was with WWE for 7 years and barely got better than she was during her debut at MYC.

Xia Li is miles better than Xyon Quinn. Guy is generic PC guy

Xyon had been with WWE since 2018, Xia since 2017, so... what?

On a different note, it's always funny to me that pretty much everyone puts it just on the talent's shoulders to improve and "get better", but I never really see anyone questioning if WWE's PC might just not be the best place for training, or rather that it's simply not suitable for every single kind of Wrestler.

And don't get me wrong, of course the talent can only improve, if they work on themselves etc. I just think there are cases where the kind of training a talent gets, might just not be the right one and I wouldn't be surprised if WWE early on put PC prospects into different categories, which have different levels of care etc. put into them.
