I was going to say Indi isn't ready and she isn't but she's also done this long enough that I just don't know if her ceiling is that much higher than where she is now. They can try on the main roster but she likely won't go far beyond a low card status.

Solo is real good. I'm curious if they work him in with the Bloodline immediately or not.
Indi is rough in-ring but I love her character work.

What bad luck for Indi. Finally getting called up to the main roster at the exact same moment her husband Dexter is on the run from the law and is likely headed to a long prison sentence. It would be cool if, instead of writing somebody off for an injury by just saying they're injured they sent them off to kayfabe prison instead. Then their big return is getting revenge on whoever got them jailed in the first place.

Solo would only really work against the Bloodline right? Isn’t his backstory that Big Daddy Rikishi kicked him to the curb? Dude lived on the street. Unless all of the family is assholes and made their kids grow up and live on the streets I can’t see him joining at least.

Indifferent about Solo but great news about Indi. Her and Lumis together is sheer gold. Lacking in the ring for sure but who cares, the character work is outstanding.

Indi is great at the character stuff and will also simply give them some depth on the face side which they desperately need. In ring though she's still isn't ready and at this point I don't know if she ever will be as she's been in NXT for like three years now.

Hell yes. You literally can't have Johnny Gargano Family Matters without her.

I'd put her in a tag team with a solid veteran worker even if it's not LeRae again.

I agree that would be the best use of her but the problem is they don't really have anyone on the MR that is like that who would be a good partner for her. I guess Natalya but she's such a charisma vacuum and so beyond stale that being in a team with her would just bring her down. All the other veterans are too big of deals to be in that role (Charlotte, Becky, Asuka, already in a team/group (Bayley), or aren't very good workers themselves (Dana, Carmella).

Sami vs. Roman for the belts.
Solo USO interferes. Roman wins.
THE SAME BOOKING FOR ANOTHER YEAR BEGINS WITH NEW USO.

Indi chasing Dexter to the main roster is money.
WWE, even in really bad times, know how to make a video package that can make people care and fill them in on past history.
One video package and you have a decent money match in Index vs Mizryse
Not so sure what you do after, but if Persia isnt being brought back, Indi can likely find a niche as a mid carder in the woman's division

How about a returning Naomi?

In case anyone is wondering what Solo Sikoa's ring work is like:
Of all Rikishi's sons, he certainly is one of them.

Solo has said in many interviews that he doesn’t want to be with the Bloodline. He wants to do his own thing and for people to see him as his own man, not “The Uso’s brother”. So it’ll be interesting if he is put with them when he’s called up when he’s said he doesn’t want that.

I'm glad Kiana James got the win over Indi Hartwell (met Kiana once so I'm a fan), but for Indi's sake, I would LOVE her in the main roster as Indi may just be losing a lot in NXT. She would be a good part of the storyline with Dexter Lumis on RAW & utilized better.

Indi isn't up to par with a lot of the main roster women, but frankly, there's only so much some people end up learning in NXT, and a change of scenery can push them further. Naturally, there's also the risk of them falling flat, and without a safety net. Still, after this long, it might be time to give her that opportunity to succeed or fail.

Indi stopped getting the ring-time she needed to keep improving like she had been while working with Candice, while Persia didn't really get to show her strengths as a hoss because they were busy trying to saddle her with Duke Hudson to get him over.
