I see little problems in leaving Finn on NXT for a while (yeah he WILL join the MR this year though, if he stays healthy)
IF he gets stale in NXT, they can bring him up to the MR
I only see advantages and upside here, why are these dirtsheets always painting a dark picture??

This isn't news, it's just speculation. "Balor might get injured before he gets to the main roster!" "Bayley might do ok, but she might do shit!"

Honestly, I am scared for Bayley when she goes to the main roster. You'd think that she'd be a sure thing but the WWE aren't great with women to begin with and Bayley has a character that I can't see them writing properly.

If WWE screw up Bayley, that might be it for me as a fan. You've got one of the most popular wrestlers in years who has bought in an entirely new fanbase in the form of young girls and this is impossible to mess up.
If they ACTUALLY LET THEM BE THE CHARACTERS THEY HAD AND WORKED WELL WITH ON NXT instead of giving them a new schtick, they wouldn't fail within a month.

"According to backstage sources, there is a feeling that Samoa Joe will not be accepted by WWE fans due to not being a member of the Anoa'i family. Also some feel that Baron Corbin's receding hairline will threaten his chances to be a main eventer in NXT. Officials are debating if he should get hair plugs or shave his head."

Honestly, I am scared for Bayley when she goes to the main roster. You'd think that she'd be a sure thing but the WWE aren't great with women to begin with and Bayley has a character that I can't see them writing properly. I think she's good enough to make it work, but hopefully, they don't stick her with an albatross, like Emma got with Santino. Luckily, Bayley is a bigger deal in NXT than Emma was, NXT is seen by more WWE fans than it was when Emma was called up, and for how many things they got wrong, they did seem to do the Diva's Revolution call ups right in one way, not patronizing too much and rightly assuming many fans already knew who Sasha, Becky, and Charlotte were. That at least shows more confidence than they did with Emma. I mainly bring up Emma since she's the closest analogue I can think of in terms of recent years, where a seemingly niche gimmick failed to be introduced properly. Bayley's at least simpler, probably, and comes with more of an installed fanbase. Honestly, I don't know if this is an immediate concern. What is said about Balor goes for Bayley, too, in that they rely on her. She basically IS the NXT women's division right now outside of Asuka, maybe, in terms of performers with credibility and popularity. Many of the current women need experience and acceptance. Bayley is a huge part of how Sasha got over, and not just her, and for the time being, NXT needs her. If NXT was in flux when Paige got called up, it's going to be so much more difficult a transition this time, without women like Charlotte, etc, this time to fill the power vacuum. Nia and Alexa have potential, but they still have so much to learn, and I am unsure what WWE's longterm plans are with Asuka. |

I'm dreading the day that Bayley gets called up and they immediately have her start saying "bitch" all the time and make her wear revealing outfits because Kevin Dunn. If they didn't book Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Paige, or Emma decently, why would Bayley be any different?

I had the same sentiments about Bayley.
If the part of the audience that isn't familiar with her just doesn't "get" her then she could end up like Emma. If they do "get" her then she may do very well.

Backstage sources say some fans like Roman Reigns, but some don't.

Hardly new information. Feels like someone was reading message boards for something to spin into a clickbait article.

They did that with some of them like Emma. For a lot of people that don't watch NXT it's kinda like hearing the punchline of a joke but no set up. On NXT you see them develop into the characters on the main roster we only see the end product |

Stephanie is going to make her cry. And it's going to be glorious. |

Yeah, Bayley does have sort of a sad sack routine that might come off ultra cheesy on the main roster. I do think Steph will eventually humiliate her and it will kill whatever chances she has. But I will say this: There is a chasm a mile wide for a female babyface in WWE. Bayley could swoop in and fill it easily. Either way she'll wind up as bathroom break material on a PPV.
