I wonder what’s the criteria for getting called up to the main roster?

Cuz u would think Velveteen, Kairi, Shayna Bazler, Aleister woulda been called up before Heavy Machinery (No hate, Steaks & Weights!) EC3, n Lars.
thats an easy answer
  • NXT has big plans for Velveteen Dream to carry the brand once Gargano & Ciampa leave
  • Kairi is a decent young vet who can carry the younger inexperienced rookies to quality Takeover matches plus im not sold on her English or Gimmick quite yet.
  • Shayna Baszler is on her Heel Leader shyt and has a dominant heel champ presence going on now and legit looks like a bad ass.
  • Aleister Black carries the NXT brand as the Main Babyface especially with Gargano turning heel
Its likely Heavy Machinery are just gonna be filler status on either brand on the dying tag team divisions (see The Ascension)

EC3 has been a big time player already in TNA and more than likely already knows the ropes. He can instantly jump in and be a US title contender vs
new champion Rusev :dj2:

Lacey Evans isn't needed as a main heel in NXT. Shayna and her crew got that on lock now and then even after that, Bianca Bel-air will be the next Heel champion to carry the torch. Lacey might as well try her act on the main roster.

Lars Sulligoat is heavily needed on either brand. If pushed right, he should be the next "UMAGA" and a dominate threat.

Lars is more likely to be the next Snitsky than Youmanga, imo, although he's much better than Snitsky ever was on every level. He's going to a mid card gatekeeper monster within 6 months.

:wtf: Why is there no commentary during this Jaxson Ryker match?

I think they put the match in, in a different spot then when it was filmed & screwed up somewhere. Because they showed the theme for Takeover promo without anyone talking, had that match, & after the match Nigel said a line that should have been in the theme promo.

Watching this fatal 4 way..this Lacey Evan's character...easily the less skilled..another overpushed blonde? Why is she joining the main roster? Unless I've missed a whole of good matches and good mic segments.
