"Right. So I took the idea to Hunter, I took it to Vince, they agreed. Vince was immediately like 'who do you have in mind?' And I said '(Dean) Ambrose, Rollins, Chris Hero, or Kassius Ohno.' Hunter shot down Hero. They wanted Roman Reigns. They came to me and they were like 'what about Leakee?' I didn't... it wasn't my hill to die on. I said 'sure' because it made sense to me. Oh, they want their guy in, he's the pretty guy, but that's good because this guy can learn from working under me."
The obvious implication that follows would be that Roman isnt ready for the push and hes the favored one from management. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were the two top guys in FCW at the time, Roman was very much green and lagged behind the other two.
