NXT News: Vince McMahon Impressed With Charlotte, Reason Hideo Itami Won, More

As previously reported, Vince McMahon was in attendance for the NXT event this past Friday in San Jose, California. He was said to be very impressed with the work of Charlotte and Sasha Banks. There was talk of Charlotte going to the main roster during Wrestlemania week and now that’s increased after McMahon saw her work. He’s also requested that she be featured more in the WWE’s Tapout commercials.

– Hideo Itami won the NXT tournament for a spot in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, but it was a last minute decision. The original plan was for Finn Balor or Adrian Neville to go over. When the match was moved to the pre-show, the decision was changed to Itami. He was selected to tie him into Tatsumi Fujinami going into the WWE Hall of Fame, as there were a lot of Japanese media in town covering Fujinami.

– The decision to bring Neville to the main roster has been in the works for a while now.

– CJ Parker decided to leave NXT because he felt he had been in development long enough. He has been there for almost four years. He wants to go out on the independents and make a name for himself. He also wants to wrestle internationally and improve his skills. He reportedly didn’t want to be seen as a talent who spent too much time in developmental and never moved on.

Update on WWE Mighty Mouse Gimmick

Regarding the rumors that WWE was planning on bringing Adrian Neville to the main roster with a Mighty Mouse-like character, there's been no recent talk of this happening but it's an idea that Vince McMahon has wanted to do with a short wrestler for some time. There was talk at one point of signing Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo for that role but he chose MMA instead of signing with WWE. The idea behind the gimmick is that it will be an underdog babyface targeted to kids.

Opinionated View- Dear god I hate the WWE I really do. And if anyone thinks a "Mighty Mouse" Gimmick would wind up being anything more than dumb comedy its the WWE they love dumb comedy.

WWE Bringing NXT Stars Up After WrestleMania 31?

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the idea behind NXT has changed a lot lately as Triple H loves all the praise he gets for NXT on social media. WWE originally was looking to train new talents from the bottom to the main roster but it appears they are recruiting top talents for the NXT brand itself. The idea is to replace some of the top indie stars who can already work good matches with more indie stars.

Regarding call-ups, there's no word on NXT Champion Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn getting brought to the main roster but there has been a lot of talk about NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks, Adrian Neville and possibly Charlotte getting called up. With how WWE likes to introduce new talents after WrestleMania, it's possible we see new main roster talents in April.

Opinionated View- Well there is always the post mania call up. The problem is once they go to the main roster they wind up being booked the main roster creative team. Hell look at the Ascension great tag team. Having good matches in NXT. On the main roster they are getting jobbed out by the freaking Prime Time Players. Zayn, Owen, and Nevillie are great but I can't see WWE giving them the time or chances they get in NXT. The Divas division is good in NXT but on the main roster I could see her getting jobbed out to The Bellas or Alica Fox because they got to promote Total Divas.

More Details On Adrian Neville’s Main Roster Gimmick

 It was previously reported that Adrian Neville will be getting a “Mighty Mouse” like gimmick when he arrives on the main roster. The Wrestling Observer (via Wrestlezone) reports that Neville won’t be dressing like a mouse character, even though it’s inspired by the small yet powerful cartoon. Instead, his gimmick is said to be more like Crash

Opinionated View- The gimmick still sounds stupid for Neville. Crash was able to do it because it worked for Crash. Neville is a different style wrestler. Also when Crash was doing it WWE didn't have much comedy. Now WWE has to much comedy

Adrian Neville Main Roster Gimmick Update,

- There are still rumors that Adrian Neville will be called up to the main roster. Word is that his gimmick when he gets brought up will be “Mighty Mouse-esque.” This is in reference to the old cartoon, meaning that Neville’s character will be portrayed as “small but strong”.

Opinionated View-


Oh for God's sake! Look I don't expect him to come out in a cape and to the old theme but come on this does not worry you? You have this awesome wrestler with some of the best flying I have ever seen and WWE's gimmick for him is about him being small. Neville is going to have some trouble on the main roster to begin with but than add this to it.

Eight-Man Tag With Top NXT Names & WWE Stars Reportedly Being Considered For WrestleMania

It is being rumored that WWE is considering an eight-man tag match at WrestleMania, which would feature both main roster stars as well as stars from the NXT developmental promotion. That match would reportedly see Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas and NXT Champion Adrian Neville face off with Jack Swagger, Corey Graves and NXT tag team champions, The Ascension. 

The match was reportedly on the internal rundown of the show, but could be off the show due to the participants being used in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. 

Opinionated View- Outside of Bo Dallas who is the most freaking boring talent ever and I don't want to hear about that over ratted ladder match he had I would love to see these guys on Mania. But I think odds are they wind up in the Battle Royal.
