7 Things WWE's Main Roster And Creative Team Can Learn From NXT Rival

7. Talent Must Uniquely Own The Spotlight

In a pre-NXT Rival Q & A, Triple H stated that the one thing he looks for in all aspiring WWE superstars is that they need to have charisma. Well, let's take that one step further and say that if a NXT superstar wants to be a key contributor and multi-millionaire in WWE, they need to uniquely own the spotlight. In an era of flux in any industry, the people and things that define where culture heads next are those that step out of typical expectations and re-define how the medium can be studied. Similar to Bray Wyatt's ability to re-engage the crowd in suspending disbelief for the more fantastical notions of pro wrestling, here's Finn Balor expanding himself from "great former New Japan star" into "wrestler literally pulled from the pages of Marvel Comics." Every time Finn Balor walks through the curtain in WAR PAINT (capitalized for impact) and takes painstaking effort to literally change the mood of the show with his entrance, he owns the spotlight and likely is literally making himself tens of millions of dollars as a WWE-branded performer down the line. In a bizarre line that traces from The Undertaker to Bray Wyatt, Finn Balor isn't NXT, he's flat out the company's NEXT SUPER-DUPER-STAR.
