Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details 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.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
