You would think the house odds are on him making his main roster debut in 2016, but I'm not completely sold. Between the state of the main roster AND NXT, I'd have to put my money on it either waiting for 2017, or at least happening much later in the coming year. He is basically NXT's standard bearer right now, I don't see them having the ability to fill the gap he would leave behind if he were called up anytime in the next six months or so. And I don't think they've really touched on the full potential of him as NXT X champion quite yet-not a surprise, given his most obviouschallengers are still out injured. Barring anything unexpected *coughSigningAJcough* I'd say it would be better to keep him where he is for the coming year.

Yes. He'll get squashed twice a week by League of Nation members.

It's going to happen regardless if Balor and NXT fans are ready or not. Once the next big NXT babyface is in place, he is on the fast track to the main roster.

Late 2016 is fine. Zayn can officially be called up the night after WM, Balor shows up around July-August, we'll be good.

Zayn can be called up after WM, Balor after Summerslam, then Apollo as the next big face star in 2017
Honestly I'm pretty sure he'll be on the main rostee in 2016 if he stays healthy

I want a Zayn-Balor feud first. They can at least do that until after Wrestlemania where they could call Sami up full time and keep Balor down there until Hideo returns to feud them as a swansong for Balor on the NXT roster. There's still lots for Balor to do on NXT before he leaves.
I need a Balor Wrestlemania 33 entrance.

I'd rather he not given what they've done to Neville, but he will probably.

If Crews is the next torch-bearer of the baby face crew, it may be awhile. Remember, he's still relatively new to NXT.

If nxt lost Balor & Zayn it won't be as beloved as it currently is but it might make way for the singles main event push of Buddy Murphy.

If Crews is the next torch-bearer of the baby face crew, it may be awhile. Remember, he's still relatively new to NXT. The next group of top NXT stars are there, but they need more polishing before they are ready to take up the torch. As stated above, right now I expect Zayne will be the next call up to the main roster, and I also expect Balor and Itami to have a potentially long program for the belt. And plenty will disagree, but I still there is a potential wild card factor in AJ Styles-if he were to sign with NXT some time in 2016, I think they would almost certainly do an AJ vs Balor program, which would probably push Balor's debut back to the end of the year of early 2017.

Get an actual character first. It seems if he turns heel he's going to be a 2003-04 Orton all cocky and shit. It could work or it could fall flat. But dude needs something.

If he gets called up soon, he's going to flop. He needs to stay in NXT a while and work on his character/promo work.
