NXT: How many will remain in the main roster?

[JTG]

By December 2011, naturally, and it's about all the seasons

Personally, I see:

Bryan
Barrett
Gabriel
Otunga
Slater
Sheffield
Harris
McGillicuty
Riley
Watson
Kaitlyn
AJ
Naomi
Brodus Clay
Derrick Bateman
Johnny Curtis

[Giul T.]

8+6+6+6=14+12=26. We already know that one's gone, and I see more people getting cut in the end, mostly from season 2 and 3. SO I think its going to end up being 13-14. If they put them all in the hunt for the mid-card, or on SD, it could be some fresh blood

Bryan

Slater
Gabriel

Riley
McGillicutty
AJ
Naomi
Maxine
Aksana
Bateman
Saxton

I can see Barrett, Bryan, and Riley for sure. Also, unfortunately, Otunga.

Everyone else, I'm not too sure about.

I'd like to add Gabriel and Slater to my "for sure" list, but I can't. I've got my fingers crossed that they'll stick around and not just turn into jobbers, though!

I'll agree with the OP list. That seems about right.

Bryan and most of Nexus not named McGillicutty are going to hang around for a while. I'm a little scared Slater will become a jobber though, which I don't want because I think he's got skills.

I see Clay becoming someone's bodyguard, and Novak will probably get an experimental push.

I cannot comment on the NXT season 4 as I have not watched a single episode of it as watching live online is too big of a pain in the ass. Ignoring that, I see the following being around for some time:

Barrett
Bryan
Gabriel
Slater
Tarver
Sheffield
Harris
Hennig
AJ
Naomi
Kaitlin
