I could swear I read somewhere that they didn't Del Rey was pretty enough to be on tv. You know, despite the fact that half the guys watching ROH while she was there were in love with her. I don't believe that's accurate. I have seen it said she prefers training and takes a lot of pride in how successful her trainees have been, and beyond that, that she prefers being involved in the business without being on camera much.

Del Rey has a particular look where she's bigger, thicker, and more muscular than most of the women WWE considers TV-ready...but she also isn't a monstrous giant like Amazing Kong or Nia Jax. It's not just that she isn't a model, IMO - it's that she also doesn't have a standard monster look in place of that.

I'd like to see SDR wrestle as well but if she already likes training and seems to basically have found her dream job, can't really be upset at that. The fact that her legacy includes helping out Bayley, Sasha, etc, good on her.
Still, it'd be fun to see her with Cesaro.

If they're both content with what they're doing, then good on then for finding a niche within their chosen profession where they don't necessarily have to be out there taking bumps every night. As far as Drake goes, the company obviously likes him enough to put him on television for interviews and whatnot on NXT every now and then and shows like Breaking Ground. They don't usually have a lot of refs do that. And as far as Del Ray goes, I'd love to see her in the ring at some point. With the way the women are featured on NXT, they'd have a pretty decent storyline ready-to-go with trainer vs. trainee at some point.

It wouldn't be surprising. Not that she's ugly but I wouldn't say she's good looking either. At least not based on what WWE is looking for.

Does anyone know how much less a trainer is earning as opposed to a lower card wrestler? If it isn't much I could see why someone would rather be a trainer. Well in Sara's case she's assistant head trainer at the Performance Centre, so I would have to think she's on a bigger salary than everybody in NXT not named Finn, Joe, Nakamura, Itami, and Zayn. As for regular trainers, I figure that while they don't get paid as much as the performers, they're almost guaranteed to make as much or more than a lower-midcarder but with a much longer length of employment. I would imagine they also probably get corporate-level benefits that the performers wouldn't, which should help make up the difference.

If my job was that physically demanding, and then someone was like "Yo, how would you like a secure job in this field with steady pay & no travelling?", I'd f***ing jump at it. Seems like it'd be a relatively cushy gig, and you get to impart your knowledge to a younger generation.
Just think about the women's division in NXT, sure some of them have had indy beginnings, but those who haven't have probably got to where they are for the most part due to Del Rey.

Drake's too busy making his beard look perfect to wrestle.

Not to mention that probably the only womens wrestler in the US that you would be able to learn more from her would be Cheerleader Melissa.

Del Rey isn't hot enough and Drake is too hot. He'd distract the viewer

Is Sara Del Rey and Cesaro still dating? Or did they break up a while ago?

I'd love to see a Bayley vs DeathRay match, since the women's roster in NXT is slightly depleted. This way the girls still get to finesse their skills, while the fans get a badass feud on some Obi wan vs Anakin stuff
