Niners Fan in CT Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I could be wrong but I think they run the risk of NXT losing it's "cool" factor with diehards. The more Vince appears to be involved in any way and the more NXT looks like a 3rd brand I think it could run some fans off. NXT was a garage band and now they're signed to a major label. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Great Justice Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Good article. CW title to NXT (which is how I read it) is news and makes sense. Considering they didn’t mention the 800 pound Floridian gorilla in the room on Wednesdays I suspect this is one of those “external” articles that WWE PR farms out like the HoF induction name stuff.

For Great Justice Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 A question. So what if WWE fires a major salvo in the “war” and the final pick in the upcoming draft is the man that’s going to take NXT into the Wednesday night era. The man that is semi-retired and (relatively speaking) right down the street. John Cena. What I’m wondering is...how would the fans react? Would this be seen as “same old shit” and NXT officially jumping the shark, or would people be excited by the idea of Cena vs Dream/Cole/Riddle, etc. ?

Raziel Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Except Cena is going to be filming Suicide Squad, so unlikely. Also, unlikely he ever comes back full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m asking more generally is what would the reaction be if Vince decided to put a big gun (Roman or Brock might also work for this purpose) on Wednesdays. In the eyes of the current NXT fan base is that a good thing (not gonna like Roman vs Riddle would be good shit man) or a bad thing (Vince-ination of NXT, selling out to the the same old shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think Roman and Seth are anchoring Mondays and Tuesdays in Vince's mind so they won't move and aside from them their only big guns are Braun, Brock, and maybe Lashley. I think the initial reaction would be pleasant surprise immediately chased by the concern that the big gun will make the NXT guys look like chumps and ruin the vibe, fair or not. If Kevin Owens isn't just being cute on Twitter and is actually changing brands, that's probably as big a gun as NXT is going to get. Unless the ratings aren't up to snuff, then I expect F5s for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wish there was a new Cannonball Run where characters die left, and right. Maybe they can get meta, and cast the Uso’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think James Gunn would have a lot of great ideas and then Vince would turnaround, look at him and say "More Shane" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakamura or Zayn could also fit the bill but I don't think the top brass sees them as big guns. Owens definitely could use major rehabbing after that....well, you all saw Smackdown. Styles could have some great matches with Undisputed Era. Thinking out loud, I personally would send Finn back to NXT. Feels like he's hit his ceiling on Raw/Smackdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 As pointed out... somewhere... KO moving back to NXT also works because it would allow him to be much closer to home which is (obviously) very important to him It wouldn't surprise me to see a lot of these guys who have been "unhappy" showing up on NXT (Finn, Harper, Rusev...)

Guest Edwin Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 As cool as it would be to see some of those main roster folks move back to NXT -- I don't think it would be that great of an idea as NXT already has a stacked roster, plus there's already those folks who are going to move there from 205 Live.

They already did that in the WWE. They were called the Social Outcasts I am confused why are they are showing only the 1st hour of NXT on USA Network. I mean if they want to put the screws to AEW then run both hours. Edited September 17, 2019 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
