  1. I doubt Nakamura is in NXT long enough to get a title run. Though I'm sure we are all hoping Itami can get back into the ring before Nak goes to NY.

    I would think that in an ideal scenario they build up to Nak vs Joe at their August Summerslam Takeover, with Joe going over. In the meantime they build someone like Gargano who has a good size following already in NXT and could realistically defeat by the Royal Rumble Takeover before Joe gets called up.

  2. Has there ever been a 2x NXT title holder? Putting the title back on Bayley in June would be counterproductive as she's as ready as she'll ever be and clearly over with the main audience without even stepping foot in a WWE event. Hotshotting the title to Bayley for a month before she gets called up goes against the grain.

    Bruno v. Pedro Morales was a HUGE deal that drew 22K to Shea Stadium. Not bad for Face v. Face main event that ended in a curfew draw

    I'm actually surprised they don't do this more as it definitely draws more interest and adds to the realism factor. It also makes the outcome of the match a little more unpredictable.

  4. Brand split. No World Champion (just the WWE Champion) that travels between shows. The IC remains RAW and the US becomes Smackdown's singles belt.

    A quasi throwback to the territories.

    I don't know how that'd work with the women's division or tag teams. But for singles that's the way to go.

     Kenta Kobayashi didn't get to be KENTA, Kana turned into Asuka, and Prince Devitt had to become Finn Balor, but Shinsuke Nakamura gets to be Shinsuke Nakamura. It's like the 90s all over again (when Vader got to be Vader, and the Patriot got to be the Patriot, and Ken Shamrock was still Ken Shamrock, but Cactus Jack became Mankind). Is Nak going to kickstart a wave of "If it's OK for him, it's OK for me" real name signings?

     TNA killed the previous real name era; Lesnar, Cena, Orton, Batista, Haas, Benjamin all got to be themselves because there was no WCW for them to jump to. But then TNA got on telly and suddenly everyone needed a new name.

    To be fair - Finn Balor is a huge improvement over the very indie sounding Prince Devitt.

    KENTA is another story.
