Starting to think Adrian is never getting out of NXT. There seems to be no urgency to bring him up to the main roster.

I thought NXT this week was a by-the-numbers show but that's to be expected the week before Takeover 2.
I'm very excited to hear that Steen, Devitt and Kenta will be keeping their names and gimmicks. They probably realised from Sami Zayn that getting rid of the gimmick doesn't work for "indie darlings" (although I hate that term).
I'd wait until after Takeover 2 to see what happens. I think if it doesn't happen shortly after Wrestlemania next year, it's not going to.
They should just put him in a stable where he doesn't have to talk. Turn him heel, put him with Steen, Kenta and Devitt and then let Steen do all the talking.
Zayn needs to make the main roster.
As much of a fan as i am, it's a horrible time.
Who is he going to feud with? One of the midcard faces who aren't over?
Build a good set of heels and then bring him up, because they have nothing now.
They can't beat Rusev, Orton is...with Reigns i think, i dunno really. ambrose will be with rollins when he gets back and that's the match people who care about zayn probably want to see, wyatt is dead, bo is a undercard jobber.
Unless he goes heel, then it opens up.
Staying hyped for Takeover II tonight.
Here's an added bonus of "Matrix" shots of NXT stars which include Kenta and Devitt.
My picks!
Kenta does interview, maybe starts an angle with Devitt.
Neville retains, Sami freaks out after and goes HEEL! setting up Neville vs Sami.
Charlotte defeats IT'S BAYLEY!
Enzo shaves French Stallion.
Kallisto and friend beat Acension because they are going to move up(no inside info, just a guess).
Bull wins a match.
Fuckberries now I have to watch it live.

I can't watch Takeover 2 live, since I don't have the WWE Network (I'm in the UK), but the pre-show was good. Especially the four-way sit-down interview with Alex Riley. It's clear to me now that Neville isn't bad at promos when he's allowed to just be himself. He was actually quite sharp. When he's given stuff to say, it sounds forced. Another example of who is worse with scripted promos.
Epic squash by Baron Corbin.....keep your eyes on him!
normally, i would hate gimmicks like enzo's but for some reason, he pulls it off.
these guys remind me of the Mamelukes. i dig enzo and big cass.
