How do you think the current NXT roster will do once Vince gets his hands on them?

Black will be good bc he has the character and is marketable to men and women... I see him as a upper mid carder on smackdown....he will have nakamura type success...maybe a title run.. What they envisioned finn to be

Velveteen will be jobbed out, Indy gimmick...he has no shot... He'll be no way jose status

Ciampa will be a mid card heel...I'd compare him to like how Baron Corbin was booked on smackdown ...50/50 booked

Gargano 205

If they can't book sanity right no way they book undisputed midgets right either

Ricochet will be good, young, exciting, kids, men, women like him....I envision a jeff hardy type run for him...upper mid card

Precedent seems to indicate that the more over/accomplished you are in NXT, typically your main roster career will be the inverse of that, unless you have a decision maker (read: HHH) in your corner going to bat for you.

So, based on precedent? Aleister, Velveteen, Undisputed Era, Montez Ford, Bianca Belair, etc. ... dead in the water.

Kona Reeves? Absolute star on the main roster. Just give him the Rick Martel stimulus and fall back. The other guy in Street Profits that isn't Montez Ford? Multi-time IC champion.

Now for my honest opinion?

I'm worried about Velveteen. I feel like his gimmick is the type that works for the NXT crowd more than the main shows. Which is weird because from a sports entertainment POV ... he is as good as there is in NXT and maybe WWE as well. He's only 23 damn years old.

Aleister Black is basically Dark CM Punk with better strikes. He can definitely be something... on Smackdown.

Bianca Belair... should be a star. But she'd have to be a heel and away from Charlotte because that whole "superior athlete" schtick she has may cause a conflict. WWE will side with Charlotte on that. If she comes in as a face, go look at Asuka for her fate.

Ricochet could be the second coming of Rey Mysterio if they don't try to pigeon hole him.

Undisputed Era should be bulletproof.

Gimmicks centered around dancing and bodily fluids

UE will do okay because they’ve got the HHH stimulus package. Atleast Cole anyway. Fish & Strong I see becoming backstage agents sooner than later. O’Reilly I dunno about.

Jury’s out on Dream, I have no idea how he’ll be regarded.

Gargano & Ciampa I see hampered by size more than anything else.

Black is IC/US title status tops.

Ricochet could go in a few different directions so jury’s out on him as well.
