Ambrose the gawd

 

[NoMorePie]

6 nxt stars eh?

Finn Balor is definitely one.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Six picks from NXT? Bayley, American Alpha, Finn Bálor, Tye Dillinger and...?

 

[Sypress]

I would imagine RAW would have the most proven talent on the roster

they got 3 hours to fill

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Excited for it

 

[Superkick Party]

• Tag Teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team

What stupid ass idiot would take 1 over 2?

• 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

Not gonna happen when they're still the champs

Doesn't say nxt champs can't be drafted in the rules. If you're a smart GM you would want the champs

yeah they should be more specific as to who is eligible

whomever doesnt get picked is like saying they're scrubs

Not saying it's impossible but not likely. Owens debuted when his was the NXT champion feuding against Cena.

 

[Silkk]

Kane not eligible?

Edit: "Demon Kane"

So guess that means corporate kane is a seperate pick

 

[Sypress]

Six picks from NXT? Bayley, American Alpha, Finn Bálor, Tye Dillinger and...?

wouldnt AA count as 1 pick?

I know it won't happen breh, i'm just saying logically
