Never for Mania or the other big ppvs

It was last year for Mania. And this is a good way to draw in the buyer. Give them your biggest one free for the first month, let them watch some NXT, and they'll be hooked and just let it renew automatically.

I'm almost positive it wasn't free last year. The campaign for this year is even "first ever free Mania."

Please, tell me I'm wrong.

I'm supposed to believe that the bad numbers aren't as bad as they appear, yet they offer new WWE Network subscribers free Wrestlemania... Hmmm

How many of y'all really believe the original plans are going to change? ie, Reigns vs HHH isn't the main event, Reigns doesn't win, etc.

I for one, predict Reigns beats HHH, Ambrose beats Lesnar and Taker beats Shane.

I hope they make a 3 way for the Women's belt and Sasha takes it home.

I think they are going to stick with the original plan up to the WM main event. Just like TLC, they will give Reigns one last over the top booking to get him over, and if he still gets unfavorable reactions during the match, they'll pull the trigger and turn Reigns heel.

If Ambrose goes over Lesnar (and I still think he does), I think that makes him the #1 contender. Depending on the reaction to Reigns' win over Trips, one or the other goes heel and turns on the other.

I'm not a wwe executive put I think turning reigns heel is the best idea

This may just be a bogus rumor, but I thought I read last year after MITB that Trips wanted Reigns to win the briefcase and turn him heel, while Vince wanted the same result except keeping Reigns face. They compromised and chose Sheamus to win the MITB.

Someone explain why Finn hasn't been brought up
Click to expand...

He doesn't want to be brought up is the biggest reason. Consider what they've done with Neville. He's belt holding good, better than Kalisto IMO, but he's been relegated to low end matches ever since his debut really. His biggest match was a celebrity guest appearance tag match.

And I think Balor will be pushed hard. For every Neville and Breeze there's a Rollins and Owens. And I know Owens hasn't been pushed to the main event yet, but he's still been doing okay. Not every NXT talent will be **** on by Vince. I think Balor will be fine. I'm concerned about Zayn for sure though.

They can't just destroy the NXT roster. With Zayn out, Finn became the face of NXT. I wouldn't have wanted him called up for the reason Daloth pointed out about there being no place for him right now.

Just enjoy how solid NXT is.

What I was remembering was the week following both the Rumble and Mania, they made free first month offers. It went Rumble, Free February, Mania, Free April. Just kinda blended together in my mind

Explain why half of the NXT roster hasn't been "called up" honestly. Lol

I'd say it's because many of them are lacking some one thing and they're there to work on it. Then you have a couple at the top in each division that need to be there so the whole show doesn't flop. Yes, Bayley should be fighting for the championship every week on Raw, but if she's gone, the top of your division is a Japanese girl that can't talk and accidentally KOs your 2nd best girl (also known as a girl that got relegated). Other than the two of them, there's awful Dana, mediocre Nia, and the gorgeous but worthless Alexa. Same goes with the tag division and the men's singles, too.

While the people at the top may deserve the jump, the show they're on needs them until Mania time (including the NXT special right before it).

Asuka is still great, whoops she messed up once, like everyone else. Dana Brooke. isn't awful at all. She was at first but has improved a ton. She has my respect. Emma is good. Nia is still green for sure.

But seriously, the real reason is because they realize NXT is its own brand. Its not purely developmental anymore.

Emma is the only one that can kinda talk well. The rest are serious liabilities. They all still need to develop the ability to talk. So in that respect...they're still developmental. You get called up when you check off all that you need to shine AND there are at least a couple ready to take your current spot in NXT.

Mic skills
Heel
Face ( needs work on not doing heel moves )
