All they needed was a 30 second video of Regal saying no current NXT title holder or their no 1 contenders could be drafted and the issue would've been resolved, but they were too fukking lazy to do even that.

And Samoa Joe being in NXT for this long is asinine. The man was main roster ready since day one, his NXT run should've been just a couple months transitional period to get him acclimated to how things are done in the WWE.

NXT is a touring brand at the end of the day that has to make money. Meaning, you need top level attractions, and you can't draw when your entire plane of main event talent are pilfered. That's probably the main reason why Balor and Bayley took so long to get called up and why we probably won't see Naka and Joe up there for a while or at least until they breed/sign more main event attractions

I actually think it was a huge missed opportunit you could have done some type of story line where joe is super hungry and is like im taking the nxt title with me and will also win the wwe title and dominate both brands. You could have then used this to build someone in ufc up have joe go on a killing spree for a month or so and have someone from nxt bring the title back home but no wwe wants to come with the same boring shyt :russell: that why this shyt is such a snooze fest now.

NXT still needs some star power, and Joe provides that. Joe, Aries, Nakky Murray, and Roode are pretty much the top name based guys. Honestly, some of the current guys on the roster need to head to NXT and revamp, but I'll give the Brand Extension some time to see if that happens on the main shows

I always felt like Joe was brought in more to strengthen the NXT brand rather than be a big time dude on the main roster.

I feel like he's definitely put in work and opened eyes. YES, he SHOULD be on the main roster, but the man has more to offer on NXT atm than Raw or SD

You guys keep saying this but they have the talent to keep drawing the same as they are now, specially if they sign ZBJ and the Ibushi deal is real.
