I fully expect Sami Zayn to get that call. The dude is ready now. Aaron Neville will probably get it soon afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised if Corey Graves somehow found his way on the main roster with Neville. Really, practically all the Divas they have on NXT are good to go. Especially Sasha Banks, because you all know damn well Summer Rae and Sasha Banks are the best NXT team that'll never get a shot at those titles, so we'll have to deal with VIKTOR and KONNOR the GOOBER being a thing. The sad thing with the Divas is they'll have actual matches on NXT, get called up to the roster, then only get 3 minutes. Then have the entire three minutes devoted to getting their "character" over in ways that don't involve ring work to provide a storyline for a reality show drawing people who have no overlap with the Raw-dience. And, then that weird sub-section of the fandom that exists within our community will use it as ammo to say they were never good to begin with, it was all "indy fans" or "FCW fans" hyping them to be more than they were.

The Big 3: Paige, Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville. All were ready months ago.

2012 also gave us Sandow and Cesaro(and maybe PTP, depending on how you define NXT) As for who should come up next, I'd say Leo Kruger. The guy's just too much of a character to not be on the main roster. As for Paige, and Emma for that matter, the Divas roster is too cluttered as is, even with them split into two camps. I'd rather see them wait, release people like Rosa and Alicia first, then bring up some fresh blood. You monster. Hey, I actually like Alicia, but she brings nothing to the current division. And saying that keeping in mind that Aksana, Eva Marie, and JoJo are on the roster. And I don't think much of any of them either, except that I could buy Eva as a top heel some day.

I want Zayn to be called up but I have no clue what role he would play on the current roster, there's just so many guys that deserve to be called up now but I think they would get lost in the shuffle.

When has Alicia ever been portrayed as remotely heelish? When she teamed with other heels? When she wrestled a face? The joke about Alicia switching alignments weekly has some truth to it. Even the WWE doesn't know what to do with her. I don't even know what her gimmick is supposed to be.

If you like any of the NXT divas, you shouldn't want any called up to the main roster right now. It wouldn't work out well at all.
Someone like Zayn or Neville would be a good idea but even for men, bringing people in just isn't such a good idea right now. Not unless they're willing to job some upper carders.

Selfishly, none of them. NXT is my favourite wrestling show right now and I don't want it to change.
Non-selfishly, Zayn, Neville, Kruger, Ascension, and Dallas all seem ready.

Actually, now's the perfect time to call an NXT diva up, since AJ's the one holding the title. Once the WWE puts it on someone else, their interest in pushing the divas will drop even lower.

The Ascension is a gimmick made for big time arena production. With the recent rise in the tag team division, I'd say bring these guys up. Totally agree. Their entrance feels a little out of place in the small arena of NXT but I think if you moved them to a bigger arena it would be badass.

I don't see Zayn having much in the way of storylines. There's really nothing inherently wrong with being "lost in the shuffle". To me, the problem lies more along the fact that WWE likes to massively job out the people who aren't doing anything to the ones who are, and really that's the mindset that needs to be changed. Zayn could easily continue what he's doing on the main roster, having solid matches week in and week out.

THE MIDCARD.I'd be fine with it if this were an ideal world. If they were really given things to do and storylines that matter without the main event players having to get bumped down, it'd be nice to see Zayn having to deal with Swagger, trying to topple Big E or being a thorn in the side of Shield (because Ambrose does have a title).

I don't think there needs to be much rush with that. There's a very real possibility AJ will hold the title through all of 2014. The division is completely empty. One might say "well, since it's empty, shouldn't they be calling someone up?" Normally yes, but not while total divas still has focus. I say wait until the 2nd half of 2014, then look towards bringing in the NXT girls one at a time. Having one show up and take AJ's title early on won't do them any favors either. After a few title defenses if they retain and are done with AJ, they'll be stuck in purgatory and probably kill the division too.
