STOP DOING HEROIN

That list is not that bad and bringing up Nakamura or Joe would be stupid right now if WWE is at all invested in making NXT important which it seems like they are.

They're already paying Nakamura main roster money and sticking him in NXT longterm is a comical waste of his talents.

If Bayley was called up right now, the very best we could hope for is several months of her getting pinned by Charlotte after botched distractions from Dana Brooke.

Also after Battleground is the Charlotte/Sasha build proper as well as the Summerslam build in general not the best time for Bayley.

Well then I hope Nakamura shows up after Summerslam just so people will shut up about it. He won't though because he SHOULD be NXT Champ by then,

I just find it funny that a lot of people were pearl-clutching about the post-draft gutting of NXT and now that WWE''s not doing that many of the same people are talking about how stupid WWE is. For the record I agree Nakamura is main-roster ready but I see the internal logic with this.

When it comes to Nakamura it's not like time is on their side though, both in years and physical wear on his body.

Joe is a guy who I see as being NXT for life or until the brand ends, with Nakamura though he feels like a fish far too big for that pond.

What is more important, their main shows or NXT?

I am not saying I personally agree with it, I am saying two things:

-There is inherent logic in it (not completely gutting NXT) even if said logic is flawed.
-A fair number of people are talking out of both sides of their mouths, because if they sent up Nakamura, Joe, Balor, Bayley, AA, and Asuka, which would probably be best for boosting the main roster, some of the same people bitching about the alleged six would be bitching about there being no reason to watch NXT now.

It makes perfect sense for Stephanie to bring in Foley. She's wants to beat Smackdown in ratings, so she brought in a fan favorite.

It makes zero sense for Daniel Bryan to skip over Joe and Nakamura when he said he wanted to bring the best wrestlers to Smackdown.

It's hosed up that Alexa Bliss is not going to be the one to defeat Asuka for the NXT women's championship imo.

Also, that loving Carmilla is getting called up before Bayley. What the hell WWE?
