You are talking like NXT is trash. Unless they do some angle with one of them winning the Rumble, they'll be at Full Sail. I can almost hand the money over to the bookie right now. All these, if going to WWE, will likely be in NXT first. Oh, I'm sure they'll dip in to get their feet wet, but NXT is still grounds for development, and I can't see them being in NXT for too long. It won't be like AJ Styles coming in and gunning for the NXT Championship, they'll do a few five star matches and be off to the Main Roster. NXT is the Future, it's amazing don't get me wrong. But all these stars aren't the future ... They're right now. As far as money goes, they will probably get paid hella lot more then The Miz or Zack Ryder hahah. NXT is becoming much more than just a development territory. If WWE was treating it like development, I don't think the likes of Hideo Itami, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn or Samoa Joe would be there at all. Kevin Owens very likely would have skipped as well. Guys who have wrestled for a while and know what they're doing. If anything, they would have spent very little time there, just to get used to WWE style wrestling. None of them would have been in NXT as long as they have been. AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura will likely show up in NXT, even if its just for a Kevin Owens run of sorts. Gallows and Anderson will probably be the same.

I see Gallows and Anderson having a longer run in NXT than you're probably thinking, all because of Gallows' earlier WWE run and the massive amount of tag teams in NXT right now they can feud with.

Depending on what they want to do with these guys, they may come up not too long after Styles and Nakamura, or a while after them. Do they want to strengthen NXT's already great tag team division, and have the industry vets working with these guys? Or do they want to bolster WWE's tag team division, which is floundering and only has a few really good teams? With Gallows having WWE experience, I see them wanting to use these guys on the main roster fairly quickly.

Finn Balor, Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn should get first dibs on a call up. They've put in their time in NXT.

www.wwe.com/inside/are-aj-styles-shinsuke-nakamura-karl-anderson-doc-gallows-coming-to-wwe-28508549LOL this article all but confirms it. I've heard Styles is set to enter the Rumble and Styles and Nakamura are both skipping developmental. Good. They don't need it. I don't think Balor or Joe do either. But I think Balor came in at a time where NXT was still close to becoming what it is today, but not quite there. And I think Joe is only there to really help out with younger talent. That statement where you said Nakamura and Styles aren't on Cena, Orton, and Lesnar's level is kinda BS tbh. They're two of the best wrestlers in the world right now and they have huge followings all over the world. They're not gonna get treated like dirt and I've heard they're making a shit ton of money. Like far greater than any developmental contract. The money has to be good considering I never though those to would sell out (more like bought in, actually) and go to the WWE.

A lot of these signings by WWE over the past couple of years seem like things we all would do in TEW and others would criticize for being "unrealistic". Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Kevin Steen, Finn Balor, KENTA, etc, etc.

But all these stars aren't the future ... They're right now. As far as money goes, they will probably get paid hella lot more then The Miz or Zack Ryder hahah. Why do you say that they'll get paid more than The Miz? 712 thousand is a gigantic sum of money and I really doubt Vince would be willing to pay over a million for them, I think he reserves that amount for the heavy hitters like John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, etc. Styles and Nakamura are nowhere near that level. Because, AJ Styles and Nakamura are hella bigger names. They probably got paid a nice amount of money in Japan and if Vince thinks that bringing them in will help the WWE, then I can see him paying close to a million for them. If these guys make the change, they are probably going to bring along a decent amount of new fans. I agree, but disagree with saying they're not as big, because honestly they might not be big guys, but they're big names in the wrestling industry, and although they aren't quite Cena esq, AJ Styles is pretty close. I don't know much about Nakamura, but from what I have seen, he is a phenomenal talent that seems to have a lot of backers, he could wonders for the WWE, and Vince is probably willing to pay the price if it will fix the mess that he has himself into. NXT is honestly the only good thing going right now. Then again, this is all just my opinion. I don't mean to bash anyone else's. TBH, nobody knows if this is actually going down or not. I hope it does though, seeing Styles on NXT or RAW would be phenomenal. get it. Phenomenal.

I agree with this, they worked their asses off to get NXT where it is today, especially Zayn and Balor. If anything, it'd be nice to see them go up to RAW and Styles and Nakamura take over in NXT for a while as a well known name. I just can't see their run in NXT lasting overly long, but like Jon said, maybe a Kevin Owens run would be enough.
