They literally had Bron Breakker break (no pun intended) the old NXT logo last night.

RAW ratings will take a big hit the next 2 weeks. January 10th head to head with the College Football National Championship and January 17th against an NFL playoff game. Good luck, Vince.

I don’t know pushing someone to be undefeated for a year and then putting a title on them seems like booking 101

It’s a shame for Jade that people like NextBigThing are going to take away the spotlight of her winning and saying they only gave it to her because of what recently happened.
Whatevs, if someone truly doesn't believe she has been the winner for months or believes the tweet storm has anything to do with the belt going to her then I've got some ocean front property in Nebraska for sale. Give me call.
I don’t care for Cargil. But she has clearly been set up as the dominant force in the women’s division for months now

Meh, I figured she was the odds on favourite even when this was first announced. I don’t like it, though.
it had to be her or Ruby from the start. Seems like they'll take the long route with Ruby chasing Brit Baker for a while, which is ok for now.
CM Punk Believes AEW Should Focus On Themselves And Stop Talking About WWE | Fightful News
Punk said that a few years ago, but it still gets a laugh out of me now. From what I read on reddit, it seems like Punk has mentioned WWE in plenty of promos.

Scotty was asked what WWE is looking for in talent today:
“Well, it might be different now. But when I left there a month ago, they want young. I know that they are doing tryouts for people who have never done this. They are hiring all these college athletes. I have always said that you can’t teach passion, and you need passion to do this. No matter how much money you’re making, if you’re on the road doing 200 shows a year and you’re traveling, which adds about 50 days, you are looking at 250 to 300 days a year on the road. No matter what you’re making in money, you need passion. I think at some point it will swing back the other way and they will go, ‘Where are the men at? We need men’, and then you will see a bunch of guys come in who are a little bit older and more experienced. Putting green on green on live television can be dangerous.”
Scotty 2 Hotty says seeing all of the WWE releases took a big toll on him
So yeah, the future for the old NXT talent is not looking good. Most of them don't fit WWE's new direction and Vince seemingly has no interest in them......Io Shirai being one of them, why she's still in developmental after 3 and a half years I will never know, she's really wasting her prime years in that company.

Lol Cargill is green as hell and I'm not a fan but she's been booked strong and was obviously winning that title the whole time. The timing of the finals was just unfortunate.

They probably like the idea of being able to take credit for their development and success too. WWE has never liked people getting over by themselves. I feel like that's why you see so many NXT call ups get stripped of their uniqueness and given stupid names, songs, and attire.
