10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Mar 14)

3. NXT Talents Staying On NXT For Too Long?

From @Rawfury0424: Why are some talented NXT prospects stuck on the show for so long (example Sami Zayn)?
It's a creative issue a lot of the time. When WWE has ideas for people they call them up and will use them on the main shows, but if they don't then they will sit in NXT for a while. A guy like Konnor of The Ascension was in developmental going back to 2005 because they never found something for him to do. The other part of it is that WWE is trying to build up the NXT brand with some shows outside of Florida as well, so that's why we might see the likes of Zayn and Adrian Neville hanging around for longer. For the talents, they probably want to get off NXT because you get a raise when you're on the main roster in front of the bigger crowds. However, NXT is such a fun show to be a part of these days that most people that are there likely don't mind it too much. A lot of fans are looking forward to the day when Zayn, Neville, Charlotte and others are on the main roster. It probably won't be too long for all of them to get there.
