"Vince McMahon does not give a damn about NXT. I had an NXT wrestler say, 'That felt like a message"

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

The women however have a better ratio with success. From the 4 Horsewomen, Asuka, Rhea, Shayna, Nia, Carmella, Bliss, Bianca, and many more.

That's because Vince doesn't really care enough about the women to be too hands on

With the exception of Charlotte, of course

That was a message to Zelina Vega

 

[Skyjacker]

Zelina was lower mid-card before her release. Who says that this is a statement when she is in the same spot?

Maybe I over estimate VKM's pettiness but I think this is a major part of it. They're "minor league" in his eyes and the Wednesday Night Wars only reaffirmed this.

Is there one NXT star in the last 5 years he has really gotten behind?

Drew, but he was once his golden boy already so not quite the same. Perhaps KO, but that took forever. It seemed like Finn at one point but then we got all that "he's not over enough" talk. The list of guys who were huge deals in NXT only to be mismanaged on the main roster, however, is endless.

When I think of the big pushes in the last few years of "new" guys, a lot of them are guys (Bobby, Braun) who bypassed NXT all together

KO, Sami, Finn before he got injured, technically The Shield as a collective and the three of them separately. He's getting behind Big E.

Not to mention the 4 Horsewomen, Asuka and Alexa Bliss.

At this point tho he kinda has to rely on NXT because a lot of roster now is getting called up from there.

 

[Wacky D]

He'll definitely get payback on Hardy, and it will build him up as a heel.

But let's not forget Bo Dallas was also nxt champ. Lol

Bo Dallas came from the performance center. MeanwhIile Killer kross was arguably the top free agent in the business at one point.

With that said, I agree that this is most likely a storyline. WWE def dropped a bag to get him and are invested in him to some degree.

She was mostly a manager before she left.

They brought her back to job her out as a wrestler to teach her & anyone who's like her a message.

You need mid-card women. Zelina was never going to be top woman and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't buy that she is miserable or being punished.

Neither does she.

 

[dh86]

Neither does she.

This is definitely Gail Kim 2008-2011 wwe return lmao. Whoever made that analogy deserves a rep. I think she’s fired again once the new call ups settle in

What is the message? That they will hire people back after the free Twitch Prime subs leave after a month?

I never said she was a "top woman".

She's a hell of a manager.

Why not let her do the thing she's best at?

And I don't know if she's "miserable"

She may just care about the money

What is the message? That they will hire people back after the free Twitch Prime subs leave after a month?

That you will bend the knee and submit.

She got rid of the Twitch, the OnlyFans, and even scrubbed her Twitter page of all the talk about "unions"

She's no longer talking to that SAG president who was talking about wrestlers being apart of SAG either.

She's totally neutered, now.

She's just gonna be there to be cannon fodder.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Zelina was easily one of the early Covid MVPs last year

 

[KFBF]

What's the qanon story?

 

[ThaBronxBully]

Raw And Smackdown Are Full Of NXT Success Stories Why People Focus So Hard On Fat Ass Lee On Boring Ass Kross?

Some People Can’t Get Themselves Over, Not Everyone Is Gonna Shine

 

[ThaBronxBully]

NXT has always been viewed as developmental except for a brief period leading up to Survivor Series 2018. There's a reason why they did Raw vs Smackdown vs NXT only once. You see guys like Roderick Strong, Gargano, Ciampa, O'reilly and you know that they wouldn't make it on the main roster.

And It Will Be “Vinces Fault” lol
