NXT is Triple H's baby. He has worked very closely with the young stars of the brand and truly considers them the future of WWE. He has even appeared on the NXT broadcast and said to the fans in the audience that if, God forbid, the entire WWE roster disappeared, he would feel confident that the company could continue to roll on with the men and women they have in NXT. That is a ringing endorsement and one that proves how much faith Triple H has in his talented roster of youngsters. The fact that so many of those stars are en route to WWE as we speak indicates that he not only has faith in them, he also has plans. As such, stars such as Bo Dallas, Alexander Rusev, Paige and Adam Rose will be given every chance to star for the company. After all, there is nothing a high-ranking official likes more than to be able to point to something successful and say, "that's all me." Again, though, it will be up to the performer himself to seize the opportunity and run with it. Yes, if he stumbles he will be covered for and protected by his boss, who will work to retool the gimmick to make it better fit the WWE landscape. Yes, he will be treated like a star until he either achieves the success expected of him or the crowd completely rejects him. Still, there is only so much that Triple H can do. The rest will be up to Rose.
