Essential The Official NXT Discussion Thread 2.0

[Kidd Dibiase]

Bayley isn't exactly a good promo so that might hold her back a bunch. Well, that and the fact that Vince would probably rather push a bikini model.

not like the divas get a lot of promo time anyway

Nah, but she will have to be more comfortable on the mic than she is now.

Backstage Talk On Concern Over Finn Balor's Health And Bayley's Future With WWE's Main Roster - WrestlingInc.com

It's no secret that WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor and NXT Women's Champion Bayley often mention in media interviews how they're happy staying in NXT. Apparently this has been a major discussion point within NXT.

There's a concern among some that the more NXT tours in 2016, Balor will be breaking down his body carrying the NXT main events before he gets to the real money and the main roster. Balor is 34 now and with the years he worked in Japan, the concern comes from NXT relying so much on Balor to have great matches as the main attraction of the brand.

Regarding Bayley, there's been some discussion over whether she will be the biggest female star in WWE history or if she will fail on the main roster. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the feeling in WWE is that there's no in between for Bayley. Some people see Bayley as a female John Cena, with the idea that she could do charity work and bring in younger female fans.

So they want Finn to work less hard on the main roster than he did in developmental?! There are people who doubt Bayley's mainstream appeal while she has a built in fanbase?

and people defend this company...

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

they don't want Finn to outperform anyone they wanna push lol

and to prevent injuries....yet they don't wanna reduce the schedule

It should be impossible to fukk bayley up..

With the awful booking the Divas division gets it's still a possibility.

Big Backstage Update on Why James Storm Did Not Sign with WWE NXT, Details on Storm's New TNA Deal, Possible WWE Return & More

As noted, James Storm made his official return to TNA last night at the Impact Wrestling debut on POP TV.

According to WZ Daily regular and ProWrestlingSheet.com’s Ryan Satin, sources noted that after months of negotiations, WWE was only willing to offer Storm a deal that would earn the former TNA Champion less than $100K a year. TNA, on the other hand, was offering 2 1/2 times more than that.

Money was the motivating factor for Storm, who signed a two year deal with TNA which will also see him get a cut of merchandise sales. The offer from TNA is said to be guaranteed money, and as for WWE, the door remains open for a possible return.

Yes but he is no spring chicken and not well established in the WWE market so it seemed like a typical move for them.
