I bless you with the power to promote two NXT acts to the main roster. Before anyone complains, Zayn, Ohno, Paige, and Scott Dawson were left off this list intentionally because I didn't want them skewing the results.
Also, feel free to explain how you would debut them. For example, I would bring up Sylvester LeFort and have him manage the Primetime Players (Millions of MONIES!! HAHAHA), leading them to tag team gold.

I went with KRUUUUGAHHHHH and Enzo. Kruger's just awesome and I want him anywhere on the card because I know he'll catch on. I'd like to see Enzo brought up as someone underneath the likes of 3MB, total jobber but a really entertaining one. Pretty much what Heath Slater has always been, I'd like to see Heath move up the card a little bit.
Rusev will be sick but I'd rather him stay on NXT and get it all together for a little bit, no rush on that one.

Enzo Amore. I think he has the potential to be the next John Cena.

Emma. The WWE could use a fresh new face diva.
Neville. I always loved high flyers, and most of the ones on the main roster are injured or jobbers.

I picked Adrian Nevelle. Even though he is a spectacular high flyer, he has the potential to be the total package in the ring like Punk and Bryan are and has proven in his previous indie career that he can do much more than just fly.
My other pick was Leo Kruger. His original character didn't do anything for me, but KRRRRRUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! is amazing. That's a villain made for prime time.
Honorable mention goes to Sami Zayn. He's on fire right now in NXT and showing the even more promise and talent than we ever knew he had. I personally think he has just as strong of a chance to make it to the top of WWE as Daniel Bryan had when he started his WWE career.

Can we just put them all on TV? Like, kill Main Event and put NXT in its place.

Adrian Neville but I really hope they give him a better name. Adrian Neville is just so bland. I can't see him ever getting over with that lazy moniker. He needs something more flashy.

All of them, every single one of them, I honestly like everyone on NXT, Zayn, Bo, Dawson, CJ Parker, IMO everyone is great.

This thread is ridiculously hard to pick, and I guess that's a good problem to have for WWE's case, as everyone is so talented. So, I'll list the people in the order I would call them up.
1. Adrian Neville - He's got that indy cred where he can get a small portion of the audience to recognize him, plus his high flying will work great for crowds. 2. Xavier Woods - The other guy I selected. My fear with him is WWE won't get the character because a lot of people in management are too old. 3. Leo Kruger - I think he could be a strong heel. I always thought he fit in well with the Wyatt Family, but I think they want him to be more on his own. 4. Corey Graves - Another guy who is roster ready. Good alternative look to him. 5. Bayley - My favourite female wrestler on the entire roster. Bayley is the most sympathetic character to come down the pike in ages, I could see her being beloved. 6. The Ascension - I've seen this gimmick go from a stable managed by Ricardo Rodriquez, to Conor O'Brian now resembling a flower with his ring attire. I think they'd be a cool team to bring up, but a manager would help them out as well. 7. Emma - I can't believe her stupid dance got over, but another kid friendly WWE diva, great baby face, and is probably more talented then a lot of the people they have on the roster now. 8. Tyler Breeze - A strange, over the top good looking person gimmick. One problem he has is the gimmick has been done to death, even with his selfie spin on it. 9. Sylvester LeFort - Great manager, and a great wrestler as well, trained by Lance Storm. The French Stallion himself. 10. Bo Dallas - I think he's talented but he needs to work on some sort of character, maybe an arrogant Justin Bieber like person who thinks he's a babyface, despite being a heel. 11. Enzo Amore - I put him low on my list because I still think he needs more time to develop. He's a great character and a great talent, but it's best to wait for a bit. 12. CJ Parker - I haven't seen much of him outside his FCW tag title run. A decent talent, but again, needs to work more on what he's doing. 13. Alexander Rusev - Another wait and see deal. I've seen him for a bit on FCW, but again, let's wait and see with what this guy brings to the table. 14. Charlotte - She reminds me of Cheerleader Melissa in her look and style, but she's still incredibly green and could use more seasoning.

Before this last episode of NXT, I hadn't seen any of Enzo. Now, I want him on the main roster more than anybody else on NXT. Shame his character will probably be butchered when he gets called up.

Enzo. Every day- he needs to keep Big Cass as well though as he's starting to show some personality as well.
Then Emma because she's adorable and who couldn't possibly not want to see her make it.
After that pretty much everyone- I love them all (except Dawson and CJ Parker). Even Booooooooo Dallas.

Hmmm I like Emma more than anybody else on that list but do I want her on the main roster? Selfishly I'd rather see her (and Paige) used well in NXT than see her lost in the shuffle on Raw, the thought of her dancing entrance being met with apathetic silence before a two minute squash is a bleak one.
So with that in mind Neville and Enzo, Neville's in-ring ability and finisher should get him over quickly and Enzo should be instantly over wherever he goes because he'll always be the realest guy in the room. Maybe Kruger too.
Most of the others would benefit from more time on NXT (even if they would do fine if called up tomorrow).

Bo Dallas because who knows what kind of reaction he'll get (likely a bad one but then the announcers can be like, "Why are they booing this guy?! HE'S TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!"), and Corey Graves because he, to me at least, seems long overdue to be elevated to the main card and given a solid push.

I know that we aren't exactly clear on what the Ascension is supposed to be, but I think it would be nice if they just dropped the whole supernatural, cult, etc. implications, and just admitted that they were just regular dudes with a badass entrance. Like just say that it's an act for the sake of psychological warfare or something. Conor O'Brian is owning the Ascension gimmick, but Rick Victor makes it look awkward. I honestly would rather just call up Conor as a singles guy.
Corey Graves should get called up. But I think he needs to be a heel. He's so awkward as a face plus he hasn't gotten a lot of focus or build since turning despite being one half of the tag champs. It's like he's just there now. Even though Graves is a smaller guy, I think he could easily be somebody's "muscle": a scrappy and aggressive "attack dog" of sorts who wears people out with brutal strikes and submissions whenever someone snaps his fingers. He'd be a great addition to the Corporation, or the Paul Heyman Guys.
Tyler Breeze has a fun gimmick. But there are so many "good looking" guys on the roster that I worry that if they put him in the ring with the wrong person , it might kill the credibility of the gimmick. It'll be a bit laughable to put this "gorgeous" guy next to, say Cody Rhodes or Zack Ryder.

I chose Woods and Neville, Enzo would have been my third pick. Neville would be extremely easy to debut. Just give him a jobber entrance on TV against a solid midcarder, preferably a heel, have the heel dominate for a few minutes, have Neville do what Neville does best and flip all about the f***ing place for his comeback, hit Red Arrow, crowd loses their shit. Then you work from there. Woods, I would have said Woods would be the perfect person to debut against Rybully but that feels kinda cheap. So, I think i'd give him the regular debut shtick, vignettes play for a few weeks that highlight aspects of his character. First match, goes over, I'd probably have him go over Drew or Slater, they'd give him a good showing. Considering Fandango can't seem to finish a match nowadays without walking out for the count-out loss I'd have Woods be the guy that throws him back into the ring once or twice and build a feud from there. Enzo. Every day- he needs to keep Big Cass as well though as he's starting to show some personality as well. Enzo reminds me more and more of a DDP/Road Dogg love child every time I see him, so if Big Cass can bring the chops in-ring I think we could have a solid tag team for the main show.
