You have no idea what Shawn Michaels is cooking up week to week.
That’s the fun of it all in NXT right now. The NXT title picture is pure chaos, with a plethora of dudes chasing after new champion Grayson Waller.
There’s former champ Tony D’Angelo. There’s Zilla Fatu. There’s Cruz Montana. There’s Mason Rook. There’s Saquon Shugars. There’s EK Prosper. And there’s also new NXT general manager Keanu Carver (he did make the match for Robert Stone on Tuesday’s show!).
NXT is using the approach of throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. It’s what a developmental brand should be.
Create opportunities for these guys, and see which of them rises to the occasion.
Zilla is the best short-term option. He’ll be on the WWE main roster in several months.
Montana is the best long-term option. He has the “it” factor to carry a brand.
But there’s intrigue with every option.
