If Juice Robinson can go from being where he was in NXT to headlining New Japan shows with Kenny Omega, I'm not surprised that talent is (alledgedly) willing to try their luck elsewhere

Should Never Mention Me
The way the WWE works right now, hardly anyone works there way up. It seems like now more than ever, how you enter the fold, even in NXT, dictates your place in the company for the forseeable future. If you're a midcard guy seeing the never-ending train of new signees come in and get right to, or past your spot, of course you gotta be looking at filling the void they left behind on the indies or in Japan. Because of course, if you're hot away from the company for a few years, you can just come back and get the same treatment

Word even Jinder went through that NXT pipeline
Moving forward I think with the Performance center they will groom their own people to go from NXT to Wrestlemania and every once in a while signing major free agents

"Several wrestlers are leaving, Cody giving advice, not sure who, they may leave, plans change."
WWE knows training at a school and going through the indies is the best way to train. PC people are never as successful.

Well, it's not something new. During last year's G-1 (or 2015 can't remember) he was also saying there were a couple of wrestlers thinking about leaving. Most speculated it was Cesaro and a couple others.
But this is how it is in other "sports" as well.
There was an article I was reading a while back about all of Tom Brady's backups...there have been like 13/14 backup QBs behind him that never really "got a shot" and never will. It happens. There is a lot of talent and a finite amount of time.
The Ascension were "over" and champs in NXT and I think they lost their debut match on the main roster
I (too) think it's pitiful when guys like Kane get to come back and be inserted in the main event story and other guys don't get any TV time, but it's a business
And I'm not saying Kane is "best for business" or whatever, I just know those in charge make decisions, fans react with their dollars/attention (or lack of) and the world keeps spinning

I can see if it's people like Apollo, Ziggler, Alicia, etc. wanting to leave. Basically people that are on main event or people that you only see at the Rumble or the Andre the Giant battle royal.

Using inhouse trained only talent already failed and it won't work again.
As the WWE me style is so neutered.
A home grown talent lacks match psychology to connect and why their home grown products after ovw do not work. We went through the era before 2009's roh era raid of this and it will always fail. As you need a real grassroots worker in wrasslin to create the landscape for a promotion.

I almost wonder if WWE shouldn't make those partnerships with indie companies a little more formal, and send the PC trainees on a Journeyman year to England or to go sit under the learning tree with Gabe Sapolsky down in Evolve. Like New Japan does, sending the Young Lions to Mexico for a couple of years to get some polish on them.
Like, can you imagine how NJPW looks if Naito and 'em don't learn the gospel of Tranquilo down in CMLL?
