10 Quick Fixes For WWE In 2019
10. NXT UK TakeOver II
Already scheduled, of course, is NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. With respect to some of the incredible talent on it, the card is good on paper - but it is hardly the touch paper with which to set the emerging brand ablaze.
There is a clinical quality to NXT UK; the in-ring action is solid outside of the main event, the undercard storylines approach boilerplate territory. The show is just anonymous, and with Pete Dunne moonlighting also on NXT proper, it is missing both an exclusivity factor and genuine talisman.
Enter WALTER.
WALTER, and here's the quick component of the fix, should defeat Dunne for his United Kingdom Championship on his first night in. In doing so, WWE creates an overnight sensation and major news story alike, while, in parallel, reimagining a brand that has barely taken off and providing an upstart babyface, like Mark Andrews, with the ultimate antagonist to overcome.
To enact this quick fix, WWE must present the actual WALTER, and not a tame WWE dilution of his chest-blackening brilliance. WALTER, representative of true difference, needs to chop everybody to death, for an age, in matches that live up to his reputation as Independent wrestling's foremost conductor of the big fight feel.
Then, perhaps, it might not feel so small-time.
