NXT has been a productive resource for keep WWE's main roster stocked with talent, and has provided many of the company's current "top stars." It isn't flawless, however, and when a wrestler succeeds in NXT, there's no guarantee they'll prosper one they're called-up - just ask Jason Jordan and Chad Gable.

WWE's inability to get the most from their NXT graduates on Raw and SmackDown is a common frustration among fans, and it now looks like the brand's figurehead shares these concerns. According to Wade Keller on the PWTorch Livecast, Triple H has become frustrated with the way NXT stars have been booked on the main roster, with Bayley, Sasha Banks, and the Cruiserweights cited as specific examples.

According to Keller, 'The Game' feels that much of the hard work done to build these talents in NXT goes to waste once they reach Vince McMahon on Raw or SmackDown, noting that this is a clear bone of contention, but one Triple H can't really do anything about.

Given Hunter's level of involvement in developmental, it's understandable that he'd be frustrated by the plight of Bayley & co., but as with all speculation, this should probably be taken with a pinch of salt.
