What stupid ass idiot would take 1 over 2? :dahell:

  • Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster
Logically speaking they're retarded if they don't take Finn, Nakamura, Joe, AA, Revival, Asuka

Doesn't say nxt champs can't be drafted in the rules. If you're a smart GM you would want the champs :yeshrug:
Not saying it's impossible but not likely. Owens debuted when his was the NXT champion feuding against Cena.
