Because he has been great in NXT and found a way to rejuvenate his career.
Nattie's husband deserves this. You have no idea what you're talking about. And he's just being featured, not exactly being pushed, so what's the harm? He single handedly makes any Total Diva related segment bearable.
EDIT: Holy shit Spanky posted my signature in the previous post :lmao
At least part of it has to do with his involvement on Total Divas. A good portion of the segments he ends up on in RAW are diva related and Total Divas related, at least sort of. I think Tyson Kidd has a lot of wrestling talent and could be a solid mid card or upper mid card guy if he finds his own voice and starts building his character more.
But anyways, he finally found himself down in NXT, so WWE is giving him some main roster exposure. About time this company realized not everyone tiny and highflying needs to be a cheesy face.
Let's be real = Kidd has gotten better, yes, but Swagger is better in just about every single way save for mic skills and even then that's not saying much.
He's cultivated a good character down in NXT, but I don't think WWE will transfer it well outside of TD angles.
People start at the bottom and work their way up, sometimes (like in Tysons case) the company didn't have much faith in him so he was demoted, then he proved his worth so they've put him back on the main roster.
I don't think going down into the main event scene of NXT is a demotion. I think it's better than working 5 minute matches on Raw or Smackdown in some cases and much better than getting no TV time like Kidd was. Obviously you don't want to stay down there forever but it's a really good spot to demonstrate how good you are and galvanise a career. I think Cesaro's momentum starter last year was working with Zayn and then going into the Real Americans. Same with Kidd.
How he is used on the main roster I'm not sure. There are several rosters on the main roster who I think would benefit from going down to NXT for a few months and doing what Kidd and Cesaro, although he was slightly different, have done. Fandango for one and the Big E, Xavier and Kofi stable.
Because he deserves it, and fuck they need to do something with their mid card. Good addition, even if it is just so he can heel his wife, which is sad but gives me lawls.
Tyson is far more crisp in the ring. Swagger botched last night and botched hard in the Smackdown battle royal. Tyson Kidd doesn't botch. He's a student of the Hart family. And as of right now his character is more interesting than Swagger's.
You're right, actually, completely different styles and you're expecting totally different performances from both. I guess my reasoning is in relation to other wrestlers with a similar style as Kidd, he doesn't seem nearly as versatile or progressive and more of his impressiveness comes from the other talents in the match.
