RIPPA Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just to clarify - I mean American OR NXT person. Not both. The American is more likely unless they decided they are going to do some sort of Sonya Deville mega push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly she tends to look better when wrestling the guys. Here's an extended highlight video of her against Chris Brookes. It was the culmination of a years long feud, so it gets a little wild: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American is more likely unless they decided they are going to do some sort of Sonya Deville mega push Don't let these weirdos change your mind, you're right. With them having so many of the wrestlers in the tournament being wrestlers already in NXT/The PC, their primary focus will be to push some if not all of them so they at least reach the Final Four. I don't think we will see a situation like the CWC where two of the final four wrestlers didn't stay in the WWE, comparing the two apples to applies is probably a mistake as they likely learned some lessons from how that one went, it was a new concept. Which wrestlers are better isn't relevant. I think Toni and Kairi should be two of the last four (with Kairi counting as a NXT wrestler since she is signed), but after that its a lot more of a toss-up which is hard to predict until they announce everyone.

Norwegian Rudo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Don't see this signed/have been on NXT TV split you guys apparently do, and judging from the CWC neither does WWE. Which Americans is it you see winning this? Mia Yim is a candidate, but again, she will probably be announced as Korean. Nicole Savoy would be a candidate, but she's only returning from a serious injury a week before. You've got a few really talented girls who I would probably say aren't quite ready for that kind of push, like Rachael Ellering, Tessa Blanchard, Deonna Purazzo, Britt Baker... Pleeease don't say Candice LeRae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleeease don't say Candice LeRae. You'll have to specify who said an American is winning it, unless its just a rhetorical question to the world since I didn't say that. And I don't agree that comparing this to the CWC is the way to go, as I mentioned. There were 'rumors' at the time they didn't have TJP winning it until they realized they couldn't sign Ibushi like they wanted to, I don't think this time they will heavily push someone that they won't be able to profit off of later. Will they? Who knows, but I think its far more likely they will push wrestlers under contract than wrestlers not under contract after Ibushi didn't stick around, its just common sense.

You're arguing a completely different thing. What Rippa said is that they would have someone who has been on NXT TV win over someone who has signed, but not been on TV. I was saying I don't see that distinction as being a factor at all. The American thing was Rippa as well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I am the one saying an American is in the Final Four Beyond that - who knows? Sarah Bridges (aka Mary Dobson) is most likely the one to get the run of the new signees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
