Results from WWE's Performance Center have thus far been mixed.

For the Charlotte Flairs and Braun Strowmans that have been ground-up success stories, there have been more Baron Corbins and Dana Brookes that seem unable and unready for the stages in front of them. For the Charlotte Flairs and Braun Strowmans that have become marketable commodities for WWE, there have been more Apollo Crews' and Tye Dillingers that could probably get released without notice. For the Charlotte Flairs and Braun Strowmans that have been used well enough to become bonafide and credible Superstars, there have been Finn Bálors and Bayleys completely undone by reckless and unacceptably bad booking.

Indeed, the hit rate isn't quite as high as it perhaps should be, with the treadmill from NXT and the Performance Center to the main roster piled up talent lost to the broken mechanics of the WWE machine.

More is always more in WWE, so simply build more facilities. Hire more trainers. Train more wrestlers with more about them to succeed regardless of what the industry throws at them. There's a way to make this model work somehow, because Charlotte Flair and Braun Strowman are currently valedictorians from an otherwise empty class.
