See, this is why I can never buy into the “NXT is like totally an equal third brand you guys, totes not a developmental territory any more, nope,” when you have basically everyone who ever loses their NXT championship - NXT’s top prize - just not give a single shit that they lost and is, in this case, immediately just like “Oh well, to RAW!” You know?

The moment Keith was the last man for NXT, you were damn sure he was Raw or Smackdown bound. If you didn’t think that, you’d be foolish.

It's probably not going to happen since WWE has a long-term deal with Full Sail. They were touring for house shows, though, even running two per day with split crews.

They can have a long term deal but they still get out for PPVs NXT doesn't need a full time touring schedule. Just part time in smaller venues

The moment Keith was the last man for NXT, you were damn sure he was Raw or Smackdown bound. If you didn’t think that, you’d be foolish. And honestly, as good as freedom in NXT is, I can't blame anyone who wants to go to RAW or SD and have that chance at competing at Mania Lee has a chance to hit it big. If it doesn't work out he can always go back to NXT or go elsewhere but his star is bigger then a lot of people right now The problem is, when Vince likes you that isn't always good. He's going to give you the moon to your back but some of his old played out ideas can really f*** you and if that's the case he can get bored but Lee has a ton of backing including one in Roman

I love Keith but my gut feeling says "lost in the shuffle by November"

Also, as great as Lee is let's not forget he was lost in the shuffle on NXT
He didn't start getting hot until right before TV started with his series against Dom and he took off around SvS

Besides Kross, many have ended up lost in the shuffle like Corbin, Sullivan, Dempsey, even Heavy Machinery were just there at times. Braun wasn’t even on NXT TV ever. If anything, Vince has a better rate with them but that’s kind of like going “This kid might put the action figure on his shelf but this kid puts figures in a car and hurls them out his window”.

WrestleMania 37:

Next Night:
Returning Mike Kanellis def. Kevin Lee (c) in a non-title match.
Title is vacated 'cause of embrassment by the board of directors. One night tourney is announced: Roman Reigns wins.

I say move on from the Mysterios and have Keith Lee vs Seth Rollins. I agree but my gut says the Mystero vs Rollins feud is only 1 quarter of the way done. I base that math off the fact that the Mysteros still have 3 more eyes left to lose. I'm not including Mystero Mom in my math.

I don’t usually defend main roster call ups and I already feel dirty about this but... Keith’s last two main roster appearances, for the most part, have put him over as someone to look out for in the future and as someone who loves guys of that size and stature, Vince might actually do him some real good. It might not entirely suck. Now watch this post get quoted in a few months when Keith is in an aimless 4 month feud with Andrade because Mia Yim looked at Zelina Vega the wrong way or something. I'd love to believe you but Braun had all of that plus being taller, white and home grown an Vince still didn't give a f***. I fully.expect him to turn heel almost instantly, have a small push at first before jobbing out every week and ending up not being used much. I predict in 2 years he will be with AEW. God, I hope so. See, this is why I can never buy into the “NXT is like totally an equal third brand you guys, totes not a developmental territory any more, nope,” when you have basically everyone who ever loses their NXT championship - NXT’s top prize - just not give a single shit that they lost and is, in this case, immediately just like “Oh well, to RAW!” You know? When I watched NXT, for me this was a benefit, because NXT had so few supershows that I couldn't be bothered with main event rematches.

Hey, dude, I never said they’d be treated well, I said they’d be treated “better”. Like, the point basically is, that line isn’t a hard one for Vince to cross. Braun on the main roster had more to do than Braun in NXT but again, that’s kind of like saying “Man, I’m bored, I wish there was something to do. Oh look, a devastating tsunami has hit my town!”
