Quick and Easy Blog Question

By Scott Keith on 10 May 2015

Hi Scott,
On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely do you think it is that the following will turn up in NXT at some point, either as quick one-off appearances, or in a more involved role? And (on the same scale) how much would you want them to be involved there?

Daniels

KazarianStylesSamoa JoeJohn MorrisonBully/Bubba RayShelton Benjamin And do you think the WWE will try to get any more big Japanese names into NXT – someone like Nakamura, for example?
​That's neither a quick nor easy question. That's multiple questions with multiple parts. Just saying.
​Daniels: 1. Too old for developmental, makes more money on the indies and has no shot of making the main roster anyway.
Kaz: 1. Same answer.
Styles: 1. They already offered him a deal and he turned it down for New Japan.
Samoa Joe: 10. Coming in July.
JoMo: 5. He'll probably end up coming right back to the RAW roster when he returns, but I could see him doing a one-shot at some point.
Bully Ray: 1. Not worth it to him when he could be promoting his own stuff or whatever.
Shelton: 10. He's already there as "Angelo Dawkins". Duh.
Nakamura is too old for them I'm pretty sure, but they've openly made a play for Okada and will probably end up getting him at some point.
