Where Would Eddie Edwards Fit in WWE/NXT?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Everyone always says that Edwards shit the bed by following Davey and going to TNA rather than WWE. While it's hard to argue that he shouldn't have gone to the dumpster fire, I don't think that necessarily means the WWE would have been a great fit either.

Eddie Edwards is a great wrestler. Problem is a lot of the current crop of WWE are great wrestlers AND great characters. To put it kindly Edwards' talent has always been lopsided with his ring skills far outweighing his mic skills. Additionally, NXT is actually lacking more in the character department currently and if anything has too many good wrestlers with not enough stand out characters. I could see Edwards easily getting lost in the shuffle.

But f***. What do I know? Maybe I'm wrong. So share your opinion.

Depends on a lot of factors.

In NXT, I could see him as one of the midcard there or I could see him debut as the worker half of a tag team, teaming with someone with more personality while he works on promos at the PC.

on the main roster, if they stick him out with no build in a non smark city he'd probably dead in the water, in a smark city he'd get a good entrance pop and if he could impress in the ring as well he could be a midcard act.

Hopefully, with a new name, because holy shit.

There's bigger things to worry about. Like "Nick Miller"

Put him with Roddy (and Aries if he is paired with Roddy). Make them the a heel version of the Hype Bros.

If he were solo, he'd probably someone NXT brought in and pushed as a big deal, but who quickly flamed out due to not really being able to click with people or command their attention beyond some okay matches. Basically like Crews and Almas.

Heel version of Hype Bros....... so.... Two Mojo's?

Jobber to the rising star. Tag team jobber. Not on TV.

The guy is a black hole of charisma that is a solid hand, but I have no interest in ever seeing on a screen.... He could be the "name" guy that gives guys like No Way Jose their first "big" win.

He should still be a tag team guy. Put him with Neville or someone like that as a fast paced non-Cruiserweight team.

[chazraps]

Those of you who find him boring or without charisma...

...have you see his PWG work? Specifically his Dojo Bros team with Roderick Strong?

By far my favorite of his work. A character he really came alive with.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

I still hold out hope that Davey gets another tryout with the E....

And that his "tryout" is a "strong style" handicapped match against Shinsuke & Brock.

The thought/pipe dream makes me giggle....

[saintpat]

Bring him in with Davey Richards and brand the tag team as The Vanillican Midgets.

[Paco]

Well, Davey messed up his first shot.

He'd probably have better luck with Roddy.

But yeah, Eddie just screams tag team wrestler...unless he's a singles jobber...or in TNA

[Deleted]

Do y'all see where Neville is right now?

He'd be losing random Raw matches against Neville and that's if Neville's even on the show.
