#3. Hope is true: Triple H high on a new WWE gimmick

One of the reasons why several WWE fans consider NXT to be a better "pure wrestling" product than RAW or SmackDown is the fact that they do things very differently.

This applies to matches, storylines, and even characters as well. With less of a backstage hold on characters' creativity, there have been some interesting developments recently.

One of them was the introduction of the mysterious Tian Sha - portrayed by the 29-year old Karen Q. While it's been two years since Karen Q has wrestled, there is no confirmation as to whether she will play the Tian Sha character going forward.

Either way, there could be big plans for her in WWE. According to Fightful, Triple H and Shawn Michaels are both heavily invested in the Tian Sha character and are "hands-on" with it:

Sportskeeda's Matt Black wrote:

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels are very high on the Tian Sha gimmick. Both men believe the storyline has legs and a "long-term future" with the black and gold brand. Backstage sources within NXT also told Sapp that Triple H and Michaels are very hands-on with the gimmick's presentation that is seen almost every week.

We hope this is true because there hasn't been a character like this before. If it does well enough, we wouldn't be surprised to see Tian Sha quickly appear on the WWE main roster.
