Is Tye Dillinger on his way to Smackdown from NXT?
Tye Dillinger made his main roster debut at the Royal Rumble at number 10 (a play on the 'Perfect Ten’ gimmick), and the roof of the Alamodome in San Antonio exploded. We were made to believe that it was a one and done deal. Dillinger went back to NXT to feud with SAnitY and took the pinfall in an 8-man tag team match.

Now, rumours are circulating that Dillinger is on his way up and may well appear on the SmackDown LIVE brand. Dillinger is a likeable underdog, and his 'ten’ chants are almost as popular as the ‘yes' chants these days. We’d love to see the ultimate babyface make inroads into the blue brand.
