5: Premature NXT call-ups
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
With the draft, there was an obvious need to dig into the NXT cupboard and call up some of the great talent in Orlando. With names like Bálor, Nakamura, Bayley, Alpha and the others that were available at the time, the pickings were prime for the picking...or were they?
With all the mentioned names and then some, who did the company call upon to join the main roster? None other than Nia Jax. SERIOUSLY? Nia Jax went to Raw with the 25th overall pick. Not only that, but Mojo Rawley and Eva Marie were also called up as well.
Folks, I have the utmost respect and admiration for those who make their living by entertaining us, the fans. However, a blind hermit can see Eva Marie is a gazillion miles away from being even remotely ready for the main roster. I can see Apollo Crews, Finn Bálor and guys like Enzo and Big Cass getting the call, but some of those other picks were extremely ill-advised.
