I know, but in WWE terms he's much older. He's a bigger guy with a slower style and smaller fan base than A.J.

Big guys with slow styles aren't frowned upon at late ages. Look at how long these guys were able to be active without being canned. Big Show, Mark Henry, Kane, etc.

There's a reason they are putting Reigns on a pedestal.

he'll be up after SummerSlam what the fukk... hes still the champ. He'll do the favors for Nakamura and then move up. Its clear as day... Owens got called up with the title but it fit the storyline that was Zayn's call up... he got hurt and they switched it out.

Did Balor move up with belt?
Did Bo move with belt?
Did Rollins move up with the belt?
Did Big E move up with the belt?
Did Neville move up with the belt?
Did Zayn move up with the belt?

Ya'll want shyt so fast and they rush him up and "have nothing for him" ya'll will complain.

When the Brand split was announced two months ago, those wheels should have been turning then

Cause dude is one of the heads of that brand bro. Finn just got cLled up how come u didbt make that thread a year ago.

Guys like Apollo Crews and Baron Corbin should still be in NXT with the responsibility of carrying shows and being in a big match atmosphere. Joe proved himself far and beyond. NXT has value as a place where fans can see the next WWE main eventers before hand. Similar to the appeal of college football and basketball with players curating a fanbase prior to their pro debut. If Samoa Joe leaves NXT and makes an impact on Smackdown, that only helps NXT, even with him being phased out. NXT has reinforcements coming in in September. They arent Nakamura or Joe, but NXT should be fine

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

No Way Jose bout to put NXT on his back. :blessed:

@3Rivers @TheGodling i need a Dominican :blessed: maybe with a chacabana, a cigar and a campesino straw hat :wow: especially with the WBC coming up

I think he could cook in NXT for a bit longer. :manny: He just won the belt, give him a few months as champ before the call up.

Sheets were saying there would be more call ups in the Fall, he'll come up then after he puts Nakamura over & they've established new guys in NXT like Roode & whoever else they sign like Sabre or whoever :manny:

Serious question why the fukk is Joe even in NXT? :dahell:

He probably chose to go to NXT and stay for a little bit. He's a big enough name where he could have immediately made the leap to the main roster like AJ Styles.

Yeah that's what I'm saying he should have went to straight to the main roster.
