I'd love too see a New Day/Enzo & Cass program in a few months after New Day runs through a few other teams first. NXT women's division is bringing in more international talent that might top Paige & Becky. Kana from Japan & Sarita from CMLL Mexico
However, WWE has proven they have no idea how to present women, not even close to the standard NXT has been setting. I wish they just got rid of Smackdown and turned NXT into a legitimate second brand.
They've had stretches of showing they know how to present women (Lita, Trish, Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, the AJ/Paige fued, etc) They've just gone about booking the revolution all wrong. They shouldn't have even called it a revolution off the bat until they proved themselves to the WWE audience the same way it took them time to get red hot for NXT fans. These multi-person tags don't matter at all like Nikki Bella said in a promo. There's no stakes at all right now winning or losing. They should scrap the Divas championship and call it the WWE Women's Title. And have a tournament with all 9 of the 3 teams + Nattie
NXT is a legit 2nd brand already and I don't want too see it move away from the indie feel it has. They should do the TV tapings in NYC though at that ballroom where they always did the old school RAWS at and where ECW did a lot of PPV's.
Who said it has to change anything about it? Just get rid of Smackdown and have the 3 hour RAW and 2 hour NXT and have them be split into two brands again. It is still presented as the development brand on RAW, a feeder system. Remove that, put them on t.v in the SD timeslot. Yes, film more TV tapings at venues like you mentioned.
I think it should be kept as developmental, I think things would look different and feel different if it were truly centered around building and maintaining ratings on cable TV. They really have no pressure put on them with it on the Network and they can be patient and let new characters improve at there own pace. And keep all the fun, silly characters they've created and the indie way they book it. Having Regal, Malenko, Finlay, Sara Del Rey, Norman Smiley, Lance Storm, etc there to train and Joe, Rhyno, Kendrick, Liger, etc too get the young guys better in the ring.
So you are assuming NXT won't draw on television like Smackdown is? You can run a hot angle to give it a boost and Smackdown is already drawing **** as is. Last Smackdown did a 2.19 with the Dudley's return. You can keep the same feel and just have guys jump from the main show to NXT.
WWE has some top notch security that dude jumped the barricade and almost made it too Ambrose in less than 2 seconds before those 2-3 security guards were already in his way and taking that guy down and out. I like Ambrose turning around and laughing at the guy.
The shooting was by the deputy too the crazy guy in the parking lot. No one with involvement with NXT just some Hispanic guy who was obsessed with a female worker. Guy had been arrested for stalking at NXT just a week ago. But on too RAW. Paige almost beat Sasha in 1:24 which is disgusting. Atleast Cesaro & Owens stole the show again.
Hope they have heard the end of the guy. Haven't seen Raw but read up on it. The beat the clock challenge had potential - at least they are finally building the women as individuals and setting a no 1 contender up - but 3 matches, longest 3 mins??? And the 3rd and final was Paige and Sasha which was a quick pin fest - non decision in 1.30? Come on now... You have a 3 hour show FFS.
Guy is suppose to be barely hanging on. I'd say he's done for even if he lives. I really hoped Paige had turned heel after that match and attacked Charlotte. It looked like they teased it for a second. I'll be glad once they do away with the teams, even though Team B.A.D. is pretty rad with a cool shirt. I had hoped Sasha would get the title first, but Charlotte makes the most sense.
Regardless of who they turn, then need some real heat on that women not just make it some high school locker room feud. I would turn Paige heel, keep Charlotte and Lynch and build a strong friendship for a year before turning Charlotte heel. Sasha has the spot as the cool heel spot locked in. I don't think they need to get rid of all the factions, I think Sasha fits with a group backing her up. PCB needs to split, Bella's need to ditch Fox and be a duo on there own. Plus Fox stinks lol. I do have the bad feeling Paige will just attack Charlotte out of jealousy and the feud won't go any deeper than that. I would love to see a deal where she turns on Charlotte and Lynch, then somehow ties Charlotte up and makes her watch while Paige injures Lynch and puts her on the shelf showing a viscous side.
