I dont want to take the wind out of anyone's sails but I can't be the only one who thinks that Xavier using the power rangers gimmick on the main roster seems unlikely? There's got to be copyright shit that would get in the way. At best he'll yell ITS MORPHIN TIME but never into a mic or in an actual promo just like CM Punk does with "its clobberin time" and that will be it. He won't be announced from Angel Grove like... I'm surprised they can get away with that legally on NXT even. Maybe there's something about copyright/trademark laws I'm missing here But even if is legal I find it unlikely he can make "Power Rangers Fan" into a full fledged gimmick. Maybe a "90skid' In general type gimmick MIGHT work, but it still seems hard to get across to a larger audience. On NXT? Sure. On RAW? Seems ... questionable. WWE.com bills him from Angel Grove, California. And it's a small reference to the show (I doubt most people would actually realise that Woods is billed from Power Rangers land), so I doubt that whoever owns it now cares.

See, I know nothing of the Power Rangers, so I thought he said "IT'S MUFFIN TIME!!!" I was confused. Muffin Enthusiast isn't a bad gimmick, tbh. I also like how you have made my misinterpretation into a signature. Maybe "IT'S MUFFIN TIME!" will become a thing.

Hate the flip thing after the morphin time. He has zero momentum going into the clothesline. I always liked the Lost In The Woods move though back from when Gail Kim used to do it.

I like his flip clothesline, but I also like the worm and people's elbow. I manage to suspend my disbelief enough to forget about how much momentum he has I guess. It's nice looking, flashy and his power rangers reference at the turnbuckle will really get the crowd involved and pretty much be his tuning up the band. It does depend who is selling it though and i do see why others may not like it

He's pretty charismatic so it's all good. Hopefuly they don't kick banging on about his degrees since that adds nothing to his character.

He reminds me of Doug E. Doug, which is good because I thought that guy was hilarious.
If they do not tone him down a little, I can see his personality going into heel territory.

There was one thing that R-Truth said in the .com exclusive that is definitely true. Woods isn't just charismatic, he's electric. I can see him cutting promos in front of the crowd with such high energy that he'll get crazy over really damn fast, and the people are going to care about what he has to say due to his enthusiasm alone.
I don't think anyone else in the WWE possesses the kind of energy Xavier Woods has at this time. Not even D-Bry.
This guy is going to be a huge star.

I honestly thought it was a random JTG appearance for like 10 seconds.
