NIA JAX
ALEXA BLISS
CARMELLA
Three NXT top competitors who you dont' expect to see earlier in WWE's main brands, are now part of them. Finn Balor, as well! :)
Well, Bayley (the most expected draft) and Asuka (who wasn't available for drafting, because of her NXT Women's Champion status) are still in NXT. But many of us expected to see the likes of Nia and Alexa as NXT women's title holders, at some point. Bayley and Nia Jax has their challenge and one-more match promise... Now they are gone to WWE RAW and SmackDown! Live brands.
Do you feel robbed?
You shouldn't have :)
We must be happy to see these three women fighting on the bigger stage. As long as I could remembered, they are not the only women who were transferred to WWE without getting the NXT women's top prize.
By Bliss, Jax and Carmella's drafts to WWE, there are a field of new opportunities revealed for the other NXT women's talents who didn't get enough attention.
ALIYAH |
Young Aliyah, the Baby of NXT still doesn't show her full potential, yet.
She debuted earlier this year in a #1 Contender's Battle royal, unsuccessfully. Later she debuted in her first singles 1 on 1 match against Carmella, where she had showed us very promising skills and moves.
Now, when lead names like Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss and Carmella are drafted, Aliyah is one of the girls, who can steal the spotlight or some part of it!
ASUKA |
Asuka is the best and the only reason that we didn't wake up and see her on RAW or SmackDown! Live rosters is because she is current NXT Women's Champion!
NXT is small for her talent! She deserves to be drafted more than Alexa, Nia and Carmella, all together! But NXT Universe has luck! They will enjoy her title reign and her wrestling abilities for another long period, eventually (until Ember Moon rise up and steal the gold).
Asuka is just beginning to have fun as NXT top lady! She is practically undefeated (on-screen) and unstoppable. Bayley can match some of her greatness, Billie Kay can counter some of her moves (because she knows her from SHIMMER), but at this point in that roster, there is not a real threat for The Empress of Tomorrow! Not at this point.
Let Ember Moon and Nikki Storm, enter! We are waiting for them!
BAYLEY |
Bayley prove that she is one of the greatest NXT assets. She proves that she is more than a sweetheart, who hugs everyone and get a beat down by her partners and enemies. Bayley is far away from that character she was a year or two, ago.
Bayley is full with desire. She is capable of many things. It's nice that she is still part of NXT (for a while) so she can help the other "rookies" to evolve and develop their skills and characters. Bayley fit well into NXT! She's like its own heart. She is ready to leave that position to other woman, but this have to wait for a while. Now she has the opportunity to face Asuka for rematch and eventually to face Nia Jax, for a last time in NXT. She has some chances to become a two-times NXT Women's Champion at some point. And then she will be ready to takeover WWE's brands.
BILLIE KAY |
Billie Kay's one night appearance at SmackDown! was promising. She was great in her match aginst Dana Brooke.
Australia proves to have been a country with good wrestling traditions and production of telents, as well as Canada! WWE has three great Aussies in their women's locker rooms. Two of them didn't get enough attention. Billie Kay is one of them. We saw her helping with the training of the others. We know that she is a constant part of NXT's Live Events. But she's good enough to show more character and skills on TV.
LIV MORGAN |
Liv Morgan has walked a long way to NXT main roster.
First they have problems to select a appropriate ring name. Then she had a lot of jobbing for almost every top competitor in NXT. But Liv shows a signs of evolving in the right direction. All she need is a stability - a nice storyline and more matches on TV shows. That will totally transform her into the competitor she is!
MANDY ROSE |
Like her fellow Tough Enough co-star, Sara Lee, Mandy spend a lot of time competing on Live events.
After her Total Divas appearance, now Rose looks for serious training and eventual on-screen debut for NXT. Some of us expect that, too. We hope to see her soon, in clash against any of the other women from the NXT's locker room.
PEYTON ROYCE |
The girl with the simple name - Cassie, "evolve" into "the Venus Fly Trap" Peyton Royce's character.
And seems like she was forgotten!
The truth is that if you go to YouTube and brows in it you will see her competing in WrestleMania and other Fan Axxesses every year. She even had a match against Asuka. She compete in live events and help the others to develop their skills. Peyton is the second Aussie, who didn't get enough attention and we hope to see her grabbing what she deserves, soon.
