Kevin Owens, Nak, Charlotte, Nia Jax Alexa are the few NXT call ups...

Who haven’t fallen victim to the pitfalls Bayley, Sasha, American Alpha, The Revival have fallen victim to........What did they have to make them more successful?

- Sasha may be a 4-time champion, but she and others got sacrificed to make Charlotte. Also, Sasha got over in NXT as a heel. She's a face on the main roster.

- Bayley (and to an extent Becky Lynch) got sacrificed to make Alexa. Her match at Extreme Rules basically killed her momentum and her booking has been shyt. Think about this: Bayley, the most likable woman on the roster, is actually in the wrong during her slow-burn feud with Sasha.

- American Alpha shouldn't have been called up as early as they were. Pushed too fast too soon. But, they missed a potential gold mine with a reincarnation of Team Angle.

- Revival won't work unless the tag division is taken seriously -- meaning, a thrown together team of former rivals shouldn't be the tag champions, even if it worked with the Bar. Braun Strowman and a child, as cool as it was, shouldn't be tag champions -- with them as a cornerstone. Didn't help that the injury bug hit them when they had the initial spark.

Now, some people flounder in NXT and thrive on the main show -- Alexa, Nia, Elias, etc. -- but what it boils down to? If the WWE wants you to be prominent, you WILL be prominent whether the fans want it or not, and whether you're the best option or not.

Meanwhile, Owens beat down John Cena in his first night. They took their time with Nia Jax. Charlotte was going to be a big deal regardless of her ability because of who daddy is. Nak gon' Nak, even though he was kind of before he went on his Shoryuken spree versus AJ Styles.

They had the right people fighting for them, basically.

Charlotte was gonna be straight regardless just because of her bloodline. The same can be said for Nia Jax plus judging from social media she seems to have love and respect backstage. As for Alexa, she's blond with a body. She can't deliever in the ring but she's over because of her looks and heel tactics. They keep Shinsuke up to keep us smarks invested, as well as try to get some NJPW fans to crossover. K.O. seems to be in good graces with Triple H, so I think he will be a made man especially after that new 5 year deal he signed

Nia and Charles have family in the business.

Nak was a star before.

Owens was an indy darling.

Lol at trying to put Sasha in with those others

The few you've pointed out all had something going for themselves before even reaching the Performance Center. On the other hand, Alexa like Braun came in knowing little about wrestling but had an athletic background.

Braun and Alexa are the two people who WWE should advertise about Performance Center successes because WWE built them from the ground up. All the other recent successful people made a name for themselves outside WWE or have wrestling in their blood.

Also there's no point in talking about tag teams because Vince doesn't care for them in 2018.

Owens a made man

You are only as good as the booker thinks you are.

Nia is literally just a big bytch who is cringe on the mic and trash in the ring. Yet she is Women's champ fighting Rousey. There's no rhyme or reason, they pick and prop who they want.
