00:00NXT coming off of their show Deadline. There is obviously a bit of a build toward the future
00:06and with that promotion that does mean that there are some people who could be moving on.
00:12So as we get ready for an NXT versus WWE show later this week let's take a look at who is ready
00:19to be called up from the NXT roster to the WWE's main roster as we continue with some wrestling talk.
00:30All right so NXT's Deadline has now passed. They get ready to have some people show off
00:43on Saturday night's main event but what does it mean for the promotion in general as the
00:49developmental brand is potentially ready to send some people up to the main roster? Here are
00:55um I guess three acts that I think are ready to get called up. Number one is Obafemi.
01:02No water no bread just meat like Booker T would say or something along those lines. He says it
01:06better than I do anyway. This guy is ready. He has the aura. He is never going to be uh one of the
01:14rock and roll express in the ring. I don't know why that was the name that came to my head but
01:18like Bret Hart he is not but he is very good at being him right like he the the promos I think
01:24he's gotten a lot better at. He knows how to wrestle the style that makes him look like a
01:28dominant badass big dude and he has just every part of that character down and I think he's been
01:35ready for the main roster for a while. I was surprised when he came back to go up against
01:39Ricky Saints. I like there were people putting him into the um uh the the war games so like this guy
01:46it should be a royal rumble and onward for him. I I think absolutely this guy is ready. I think
01:52Ricky Saints is too. Um obviously like this guy was a lack of a better term main roster player
01:56on AEW anyway. He has the promo the the in-ring all of it. He has the ties with Cody like he he is
02:03I think ready for that. The one thing and the reason why I don't have Ethan Page in here as well
02:08is that this is still a television brand as frustrated as I get sometimes with that um because
02:13the purpose of NXT is supposed to be get people ready for the main roster. It is not supposed to be
02:18get a television show out there but that's what it's turned into over the last little while.
02:22Um Ethan Page is absolutely ready for the main roster. A hundred a thousand million percent
02:26ready for the main roster but this is already a show that is significantly lacking men's main event
02:33talent and if you took Oba, Ricky, and Ethan in one swoop then it the bottom falls out really quick.
02:41So I think for the brand Ethan probably needs to stick around and honestly like you could put with
02:46Oba or Ricky. Oba being the champion um probably means he's staying for a while so you could swap
02:54out Ethan there because like he has a ready-made gimmick with Chelsea Green and all of that um like
02:58him bumping for Jade Carkhill would be spectacular um like he he has a lot many ready-made already
03:04that he could be up to the main roster so pick two of Ethan Page, Obafemi, and Ricky Sainz and they
03:09are ready for the call-up and then the other one has to try to salvage the main event scene on the
03:13men's side on NXT and then on the women's side Fatal Influence I think is ready. I think like
03:19JC Jane improved so much over the last little while and really got to showcase that in her title run
03:24that um I think she's obviously main roster ready. The problem like she is more ready than the other
03:30two in the group but I I would have like I think Fallon Henley could work on the main roster right
03:34now and I think Lainey Reed gets there um she would probably be on main event a lot and like if she
03:42was just on her own there's no way we'd be calling for her to be ready but she's part of a faction that
03:46is and I think she's close enough that she can just kind of get by. She is one that would benefit a lot
03:51from there still being house shows and her just touring around wrestling every night I think she
03:55still kind of needs that not the world we're in right now but I think she still has an opportunity
03:59to kind of grow into a role I think that whole act is ready for the main roster in what is uh
04:05increasingly competitive tag team division on WWE television at this particular time. There are a
04:10couple who are close so I guess Armel mentions um Izzy Dane and Tatum Paxley I think they've both
04:15leveled up in the last couple of weeks they're entering into a feud and having all their stuff um
04:20at deadline and leading up to it um but I think they both showed that there is that there's a
04:26there there now for both of them and Dane um I think showed that she's at a level that I don't
04:32think people understood that she was at Tatum Paxley I think got to a higher level than people
04:35thought she could um even with a brief title reign obviously the people are behind her as well so
04:40those are two that probably not this go around but I think at some point soon-ish they could get
04:45called up um Kalani Jordan interested to see how the heel character kind of plays out a little bit
04:50but if they just wanted to call her up like in ring wise she's ready if they call her up as a
04:55babyface she's obviously ready I think the heel character needs six months to kind of work through
04:59figure out every the depths of that character the motivations all of that and see what you have in
05:04her kind of over do it the way they did with Roxy who was ready for a couple of years if you're going
05:09to call her up as a babyface but she has this heel run that really rounds out the character so now even
05:13if she goes as a babyface there there's a little bit more of a dynamic character there that she can draw
05:18on I feel like Kalani would benefit from the same thing but I've also been saying that her trick
05:23and Carmella would be a fun grouping just because she has been starting to pair up with trick Williams
05:28a little bit on uh vignettes and everything she'd be ready for that tomorrow if she could it is just
05:33I feel like there is another layer of ready to get to with her and then Sol Ruka I think she's main
05:38ready now but like if this were the main roster her and Zarya would be a year-long feud building to
05:45the next Wrestlemania we will see we probably still get a lot of that but like in ring wise look wise all
05:51of it she she is ready to go in in that sort of a way so NXT significantly more on the women's side
05:57than on the men's side have quite a few that are ready to get called up and make a real impact
06:01on the WWE roster so we'll see what happens coming off of Saturday's main event and John Cena's last match
06:08you
