NXT Royal Rumble tournament?

Many NXT stars are tweeting about a trip to Phoenix, and taking part in a Royal Rumble tournament in which the winner gets a spot in the Royal Rumble match. Who do you all think deserves this shot? My vote goes to Kassius Ohno, or Adrian Neville.

Sadly they left Ohno out of the tournament

The participants are

- Corey Graves
- Oliver Grey
- Luke Harper
- Xavier Woods
- Conor O'Brian
- Adrian Neville
- Bo Dallas
- Leo Kruger

O'Brien, please, or PAC as a spot monkey. I'd love to see Ziggler as #1 and then Harper as #2 however, complete with haunting entrance and Wyatt on the ramp in the rocking chair.

Graves, Harper, Kruger and O'Brien all have distinctive characters and would probably be better off debuting with vignettes or whatever, and I feel like Grey and Woods should start off as tag-team guys. So that leaves Neville and Dallas, and Neville has only been on NXT for two weeks. I don't think it's the right time for anyone new to debut anyway so I wouldn't be devastated with Dallas debuting and getting squashed and then lost in the shuffle on the RTWM, since he clearly has the lowest ceiling out of anyone in that list.

This is a pretty cool concept. I wish they would of pushed it on RAW or Smackdown. Hopefully Neville wins, this is the perfect kind of match for him to pull off some crazy spot and really WOW the crowd. Though, I have a feeling it will be Graves or Dallas.

So when is this tourny happening?

Hoping for Neville but thinking it will be Kruger, Woods, or O'Brian. I'm not opposed to any of theme.

I agree with the fox above, guys like Wyatt and Ohno can debut without being a part of this tournament and its enough of an event that they would be memorable.

Fuckin rights! As long as Bo Dallas does not win I'll consider it a spot well used.

I'm torn between Graves and Neville but since this could be a way to hotshot Neville into the limelight, I'm all for it. Graves will be just fine either way.

Harper, Kruger, and O'Brien would be okay choices.

I think Grey and Woods are in there to job, but would prefer either one to Dallas and his shitty spear.

Please for the love of god do not allow Bo Dallas to walk away with this when Neville is the obvious babyface choice to come out on top.

what exactly someone like Bo Dallas can showcase in the rumble?
i mean the spot need to go to someone who can generate a lot of interest for nxt by his performance in the rumble match and actually get people talking about wwe future stars
Neville is the right choice imo

Because for some reason WWE think that people will buy into Dallas as a plucky underdog, which they won't, but that doesn't stop the company from thinking it. He'd also fit the bill of an 'NXT rookie', because he doesn't look very imposing and TBH isn't very good. I'd rather not see any of the others introduced as 'rookies', particularly guys like Kruger, O'Brien and Harper who have menacing gimmicks, introducing them in that way could be pretty damaging for them.
