WWE has been more aggressive of late when it comes to contracted talent in both Ring of Honor and Lucha Underground. It’s said that all of the bigger name talents in both promotions have been contacted by WWE as of late.

The idea within WWE is to have those talents join NXT as WWE plans to build NXT into more of a traveling brand in 2016. The idea that is being discussed is to have a WWE branded and WWE production type of show but with ROH level main event matches.

It should be noted that Vince McMahon has said on previous occasions that he did not want to have ROH and TNA talent on the main roster if they were exposed on a national platform.

People WWE should definitely sign :
-Jay Lethal
-Davey Richards
-AJ Styles
-Matt Sydall

They failed big time with Evan Bourne, he deserved better.

I don't know who is on Lucha Underground

Have you not seen Evan Bourne?.. Great talent but he's like 150 pounds soak and wet. There's not much they can do with someone like that.

Roh and LU most are overrated. Enough with the indu wrestlers.

Didn't Bourne have injury issues and was a huge pot head? Yeah, WWE sure failed him.

Your av is an indy wrestler and 2 of the 3 favorites in your location are indy guys.

Indy talent is good. WWE rarely produces their own talent.

Pentagon Jr > Anyone in WWE

 

[TrentBarretaFan]

Who I'd like to see in NXT:

Jay Lethal
Adam Cole
Bobby Roode (pair him with James Storm)
AJ Styles (at least for one match like Jushin Liger)

 

[NikThaGreat9]

Would love to see AJ Styles and the Young Bucks make their way to NXT along with Elgin and Pentagon Jr.

Lethal and Truth Martini would be solid additions as well.

 

[J-B]

inb4 the hate posts come in about indy talent being too small and puny

 

[Pencil Neck Freak]

WWE having Pentagon Jr would be like a baby playing with a smart phone. The baby would just put it in his mouth, drool on it abit and hit it on something a few times and then he'd get bored and cry. WWE in 2015 would have no idea what to do with Pentagon Jr. And Pentagon should stay away from them as far as he can.

 

[SKYE-BLUE-SHIVVY]

Vince keep your filthy paws off of LU. You have no business being around lucha talent whom you have no clue how to book. :cudi

This doesnt sound too promising for ROH because they cannol compete with that WWE pocketbook. It's great for the talent, though. NXT could become amazing if these plans come to fruition.

 

[BornBad]

2016 is the definitely the year when The Kingdom will reign supreme :Cocky

 

[From Death Valley]

How about nope get rid of your creative team hire Heyman and Dutch to handle it push Cesaro Swagger Sandow Miz Dolph Wyatts Owens Kalisto and make them strong uppercards that gets to feud in the main event and win the big title sometimes. What's the point of hiring Indy talents if they're aren't gonna do zero fuck with them. Vince just wants to put the indies out of business by taking their hottest acts that's all he wants because it will bring them more money but he doesn't have long term plans for them. He'll do anything for a dollar.

 

[Rasslor]

Adam Cole & Brian Cage need to be signed then.

 

[Piers]

Didn't Bourne have injury issues and was a huge pot head? Yeah, WWE sure failed him.

He did but that was during his last year, he was treated like shit as soon as he debuted in ECW around 2008

 

[Piers]

Have you not seen Evan Bourne?.. Great talent but he's like 150 pounds soak and wet. There's not much they can do with someone like that.

Kalisto, Mysterio and Amore beg to differ

 

[cablegeddon]

That's probably from Dave Meltzer whose insider source is Ric Flair. Don't trust the gossip from wrestlingobserver.

 

[The Tempest]

Don't even think about touching LU, you old senile ignorant fuck :cudi Can't even treat its roster like it matters, I'm afraid what he'd do to Puma, Pentagon, Mil Muertes and the rest of the LU roster.

So yeah, keep your disgusting hands off Lucha Underground.

 

[Nishifue]

Sigh... I want WWE to have more competition so hearing this is kind of sad in my eyes. I want those indy promotions to have as much talent as possible to stand out.
