RIPPA Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 By Mike Johnson on 2015-04-01 09:56:45 Vince McMahon, who attended his first-ever NXT event last Friday, is said to be super high on Charlotte after seeing her work against Sasha Banks. There was talk of her moving to the main roster Mania week and that only multiplied after McMahon saw her work. I am told that McMahon also requested that she be featured more in the Tapout commercials that are running, so if you see more of an emphasis on her in that campaign, you'll know why. I was told by several that Vince McMahon also loved Sasha Banks' work on the NXT live event in San Jose, CA. Hideo Itami got the nod to win the tournament for the NXT tournament for the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at the last minute. The original plan was for Finn Balor or Adrian Neville to go over. Once the match was moved to the pre-show, the decision was made to go with Itami as a way to tie him into Tatsumi Fujinami going into the WWE Hall of Fame, since there was a lot of Japanese media in town covering Fujinami. The Neville call up has been in place for some time. CJ Parker decision to leave NXT was said to have been motivated by the feeling he had been in developmental for a long time (almost four years) and wanting to get out and make a name for himself outside of WWE as well as not wanting to be seen as one of those types of talents who are in developmental forever and never move on. I was also told it was a case of Parker wanting to better himself by wrestling internationally and up his game. A number of NXT talents played the soldiers in the Triple H entrance at Wrestlemania, including Enzo Amore and Solomon Crowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Smart move on Parker's part to ask out. They were probably never going to do anything with him. The guy's been getting paid to go to the best wrestling school in the world, and now he can go out try to make a name for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This is going to sound weird, but I think Tyler Breeze should be the one to take the IC title off Bryan. I think Breeze could be a great midcard act on the big show. Emma half-assing her entrance was great, but when she just gave up on trying to pull herself over the top rope and rolled in, I laughed. What a weird match. I thought it would be fairly even until Emma took a shortcut to win, but they went a different, yet interesting direction with uninspired Emma not taking Bayley seriously and losing. Becky Lynch cut a good promo. I am indescribably excited for Rhyno/Owens, and I have never liked Rhyno. I feel like in three years, we'll be having the same contentious discussions about Sami Zayn that we are about Daniel Bryan right now. I'm sure of it. Zayn is really quite easy to root for. Love that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Why not have Tyler cheat and chickenshit his way to a win over Cena instead, after a few weeks of Cena winning wars and giving respect to folks, have Tyler just completely disrespect him and cheat and weasel his way to win with tights pulling and rope pulling after whacking him with the selfie stick. Then have Tyler talk about respect and thank John for the opportunity and act all hypocritically respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Speaking of the IC title, Breeze reminds me of Shawn Michaels during his first run with the belt in as much as I can't conceive of how he could be anything but a smarmy heel. Logic dictates Tyler will become a mega face in a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayn is really quite easy to root for. Love that guy. Emma snapping and being a violent heel will be fun. I know they'd never in a million years let a Diva blade, but Emma beating Bayley into a bloody mess would be an interesting sight. I'm calling this now, Becky will end up being the best Diva out of the NXT 4 (Charlotte, Banks, Bayley, Lynch) I think with Bryan it was different, Bryan was the last guy to come from the indies and basically be on the main roster. Now EVERYONE has to go through NBexT, so more eyeballs are on them and it's not just the super duper insider smark thing to root for the guy coming from the indies into WWE because there are a decent amount of casuals who watch NBexT too.

JCM Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That was a great win for Breeze they need a heel besides Owens with some credibility. Good promos from Zayn, Rhyno, and Becky. It feels like Becky is getting closer to finding her footing as a character I think she has star potential with her looks and ability. If Mania was suplex city this episode was chinlock city. They must be drilling the heels hard to go for chinlocks. I'd prefer some actual psychology and body part work but oh well. As far as the NXT female 4 goes I think Charlotte will be the most pushed, Bayley will be the most over, Sasha will be the best heel, and Becky has the best look for the big show. All 4 have great potential on the main roster. They can't fuck this up can they? Let's hope the story about Vince being impressed was true. I think he'll give Charlotte a legit chance to become a star, and if she gets over it'll make the transition for the other girls coming up easier. Charlotte vs Sasha could be the feud that changes the perception of the diva division if they let them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Smarkie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What's next for Tyler? Since he decisively won the feud with Hideo, he needs to move up. Neville is on the main roster, and Sami is gunning for KO. Does he go for Finn Balor? Or does somebody go after him? (Alex Riley, Solomon Crowe?) The NXT championship scene is pretty stacked right now. Sami has his rematch..and there are quite a few people gunning for their shot. I personally want to see Zayn/Owens at the next Takeover...and then a numb er one contender's scramble? Or a six pack challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Really surprised they had Breeze win the feud with Hideo. That's a bold choice in my opinion, but it's the right one. I know we've seen heels go over in feuds on the main roster, but this end to the feud feels different and better. Maybe it's because it feels decisive. Also, cut that NBexT shit out. That shit is dumb. Don't be that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
