zev Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Delilah Doom's gotta be a lock for this, ditto for Veda Scott and Kimber Lee. From the current NXT on air roster, Ruby Riot. If they sign Io Shirai, there's 1 semi-finalist for sure. I can see Shayna Bayzler being brought in and hyped up. Big question is who do they bring back for the "Brian Kendrick" role? Victoria and Jazz worked King of Trios last year with Mickie James, so they're still active. Is Molly Holly a possibility? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'd be pretty stunned if they decided to do this without at least one of Io, Hojo, or Meiko signed on to take part. Also, gut call, I bet they let Manami Toyota be a part of this as part of her retirement tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely Jazz since she's included in that lawsuit. I know Victoria would be into it. They could go outside of the box and use a Mercedes Martinez.

If Io is part of this also then holy shit we're going to be in for a great time. Either way I'm excited to see who they bring in and hopeful for a show a la #205Live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I thought it was odd to have them all out there in their wrestling gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'd imagine that they've learned their lesson from the CWC where not being able to have the best wrestler win it all because they're not locked down to a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it would probably be ok to have a Perkins type win here if they wanted since the winner won't actually being winning a title. Really Perkins was done in more by weak booking and having his first feud be against someone he had little chemistry with. The winner of this won't even be getting a title belt let alone become the immediate face of the division on any of the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadEffect Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I don't see her getting signed due to her age and injury history, but for this sort of event Madison Eagles has to be an entrant, 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if she were wanting a match, they'd straight up have her face Asuka for the NXT title. Simple enough booking, Asuka keeps beating up the students, now it's time to battle the teacher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is Sarah Stock training NXT also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I heard that Del Rey is still in Orlando and it may be Stock that is on the main roster doing agent duties. However, SDR may've just been down in Orlando to help during the tryouts but she was definitely there during that last huge tryout camp. I wish Del Rey and Stock were in ring competitors so badly. Would adore Del Rey taking on Asuka in NXT before Asuka's probable summer callup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 SDR works both the main roster and NXT/PC talent. Stock works the with the NXT/PC talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 No wonder they're putting out such good matches and training such good wrestlers, with a coaching team like that being overseen by Regal (I assume). I knew they had SDR but didn't know they also had Dark Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
