Predicting 10 Next WWE NXT Call-Ups To Main Roster
7. Bayley
This is the big one. Yes, potentially bigger than any male wrestler in all of NXT. Bayley may not have the experience of Balor, or have Joes resume, or Corbins size, but she is arguably the biggest future star among them. Its been rumored that behind the scenes in WWE, theyre predicting her to either be the top woman star in the history of the company, or flop, for example, like Emma did before her. Thats quite a huge range. If WWE plays their cards right, Bayley will be the female version of John Cena. She may have a slight advantage actually, because its doubtful that adult males will hate her like the former leader of the Chain Gang. I mean, how could you hate her? Shes delightful! She also appeals to young girls more than any wrestler since Lita. Thats a valuable demographic that the company has sadly neglected. Bayley has the capability to sell t-shirts, hand out hugs, and inspire a young generation of fans. The modern day Brutus the Barber Beefcake. Okay, that was a bad analogy. Hurting her chances of an immediate call-up is that the company is still struggling to define identities for Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. They may not be ready yet to throw someone else into the mix before then. But if any womens match is going to finally main event a WWE pay-per-view, Bayley vs. Charlotte or Sasha may be the most likely shot weve ever seen.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
