Like many stated above I believe at this point and time The WWE roster is a little too stacked at the moment. Tyler Breeze just debuted a couple of months ago and is already massively lost in the shuffle. I mean at least guys like Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Fandango, Adrian Neville, ect... had a decent enough push after their debut to show The WWE Universe and Big Brass reasons as to why they were going to be regulated to the deplorable status know as jobber but it seemed WWE gave up on Breeze before He even had a chance to leave a lasting impression and/or have a single opportunity to shine or showcase His talent or character. As with many of the Men I named above He has more then enough talent to carve out a niche for Himself on The Main Roster it's too bad The WWE Big Brass would rather bury their promising talent then elevate Them to being a useful cog in the ever evolving machine that is The WWE.
Now with all of that being said to the question at hand while there are many talents deserving of a Main Roster Call-Up, I truly believe no matter how great they are They will get lost in the shuffle unless The WWE has a long term goal and/or general creative direction for the upcoming talent. I think Samoa Joe with all of His history and natural abilities on the mic and in the ring should have debuted on The Main Roster much like AJ Styles. I believe there are several viable options for Him right now a fuel with AJ have them elevate Each other by having the great matches We all know they are capable of preforming. I also believe He has unfinished business with Kevin Owens, who wouldn't want to see these two hard hitting brusers decimate one another.
Which brings Me to Mr. Sami Zayn He also has a compiling reason to not only debut but for people to instantly care. The Best Friend Thing with Kevin Owens writes itself and was beautifully set up by this year's Royal Rumble. If You have KO win The Intercontinental Championship then have a re-debut Sami Zayn unseat Kalisto for The United States Championship could You imagine how big a unification match could be at Wrestlemania? or just how much match potential and general overall options The WWE would have at The Mid-Card level, something The WWE should consider considering it's recent string of injuries. I mean a re-focused Miz, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, Kalisto, Neville, Rusev, Wade Barrett, Alberto Del Rio, Luke Harper, Bray Wyatt, a returning Ceraro, Tyson Kidd and Sin Cara just to name a few options adding Joe, Styles, Zayn and even My next pick of Austin Aires would elevate The Mid-Card Division to the best it has ever been.
Now on to another Guy that should have debuted on The Main Roster Austin Aires. With the WWE choosing to push Kalisto as it's United States Champion The WWE has created a unique opportunity to showcase a wrestling first Division much like TNA did with their X-Division. So why not have a very aggressive Aires debut and create a very compiling heel character to counter act His babyface character, why not have Them elevate Each other to the stratosphere, why not throw Breeze in there to give Him something to do. I truly believe if They are going to continue to have The Intercontinental and The United States Championships then They need to be two completely different Divisions, They should have two completely different feels to Them and having the more technical high flying wrestlers compete for The United States Championship could balance out The WWE product and create compelling TV for Us all.
So in closing My number one pick for Single Competitor Male Call-Up is...
1. Samoa Joe: Has proven Himself every place He has ever gone. Has been a Champion everywhere He has ever gone. Great on the mic, has a great character. Could be in the mix right now fighting it out for best match of the night.
2. Sami Zayn: He has done His time in NXT and at least IMO created an even better character then His El Generico gimmick from the independent scene. He is good on the mic and outstanding in the ring. I don't really see future World Champion on Him but as a Upper Mid-Card Proformer He will have plenty of opportunities to change My mind.
3. Austin Aires: I know He just debuted but He should already be on The Main Roster, already is one of the most polished acts in NXT. The WWE really makes their average NXT Star look pretty bad when They bring in someone of Aires caliber.
4. Baron Corbin: I know He has His critics but I have seen a decent amount of growth in Him going toe to toe with the best NXT has to offer. It started with NXT signing Joe and Rhyno and I don't know They took Him under Their collective wings or what but He has continued to not only improve but excel in matches with American Alpha and Apollo Crews.
5. Alex Riley/Hideo Itami: Both Men are coming off injuries and have more then proven Themselves to be capable. Alex was as white hot as Sandow was when He first broke away from The Miz and even had a slight push that went nowhere before being demoted back to NXT then the ultimate low blow of being regulated to the commentary team. Hideo just one short year ago was chosen over Finn Bàlor to compete at Wrestlemania in The Andre the Giant Battle Royal and was well on track to Main Event on NXT. Had He stayed healthy I believe Finn would be working as a heel and chasing Hideo as Challenger to His Champion.
I want to state that the once all powerful Women's Division of NXT is now a weak decrepit shadow version of itself and not one Women should be Called-Up at this time, expectually considering the deplorable state of The Main Rosters Diva's Divisio but these are the Women I consider to be the hottest prospects in NXT...
1.Evil Emma: Has worked hard to re-invent Herself in NXT. IMO She is a less lovable but better version of current NXT Women's Champion Bayley. If WWE is smart Emma created a prototype as what not to do with Bayley. With that being said I believe She has more then earned Her spot back on The Main Roster.
2.Bayley: Was there any doubt She would be here although many would probably place Her at number one I believe their was a reason She was left behind by The other Four HorseWomen, for one IMO She is not as polished and needed the time and space to be the face of NXT Women's Wrestling which She is. Unlike most I believe Her being left behind can only help Her grow and raise Her game to the next level. I cannot deny the raw talent She has to become the next big female babyface but WWE needs a little more time to workout their Diva's Division and it's competitors before Bayley makes Her big debut.
3.Adrienne Reese: I know She is just a house show worker for now but I believe that's because The WWE has huge things in store for this talented young lady. I fully expect for Her to make a massive impact upon Her NXT debut possibly becoming the woman to replace Bayley when She makes Her debut on the Main Roster. If You haven't had the pleasure of seeing Her in action then I strongly recommend for You to look Her up on YouTube.
4.Peyton Royce: IMO this lady just has that intangible it factor that I like in a new wrestler. I was not familiar with Her before She intrigued Me in NXT but I looked up some of Her work as KC Cassidy on the independent scene and I think She has an incredible upside. She has shown Me enough even in constant loses on NXT to make Me a fan and that is very hard to do. I believe when She finally receives a sustained push She will not fail to disappoint. Could be the next huge heel to Adrienne Reese face. I think these two will be at the top on NXT's Women's Division sooner rather than later.
5.Asuka: She has that it factor but I am not as sold as everyone else is on Her. I think sometimes She is a little sloppy and unpolished in the ring and She can't even speak proper English which means little to no promo skills, but I am genuinely interested in seeing Her develop and believe with proper booking She could be a huge star in years to come.
Now Last to what I consider NXT's flagship Division at this time Their Tag Team Division which I consider to be superior to the WWE's current Division...
1.American Alpha (Chad "Say My Name" Gable and Jason "JJ" Jordan): This is far and beyond the best Tag Team in the untire WWE IMO. I believe They have the chemistry and character to be huge stars on The Main Roster right now. Not to mention the fact that They both have singles wrestling potential written all over Them, IMO They are right up their with the very best technical wrestlers in the untire WWE. They truly have a unbelievable somewhat scary upside as singles wrestlers and as a tag team.
Apollo Crews and Rich Swann: I know they are not a Tag Team but These Two are incredible performers who I would love to see feud with American Alpha for NXT Tag Team supremacy then move to The Main Roster with Them and light The WWE Tag Division on fire.
3.The Alexa, Blake and Murphy Factor: Great heel Tag Team, can put on great matches with anybody and seems at least at the moment to be lost in the shuffle in NXT so why not inject some new life on The Main Roster.
4.The Two Man Smash Machine (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson): The current NXT Tag Team Champions are every bit the throwback brusers They claim to be and I think every roster need a rough and tumble Tag Team like these Guys.
The Vaudevillians (Simon Gotch and Aiden English): They are a very interesting and unique Tag Team. Both had weird body types and strange movesets that make Them standout in a talent filled Division. I love these Guys thought Their reign was too short even if They did help elevate Blake and Murphy and Wilder and Dawson.
Last I know I left out such favorites as Finn Bàlor and Enzo and Big Cass but unlike most I think both of these talents still have alot to learn if They are going to make it in The WWE. Finn should stay on NXT until He can do a test run of The Bullet/Bàlor Club angle I know it will work but just imagine how much more in will mean when They actually debut on The Main Roster if Them Dominate NXT first then go on to invade The WWE. Maybe The WWE could even sign a couple more members and let's face facts Finn needs more time to develop on the mic if He is ever going to have a shot at achieve the goal The IWC has placed on Him. Although I enjoy Enzo Amore on the mic, IMO He and Cass are just not a very good Tag Team I think even The Hype Bros gel better in the ring then these two, they need to overhaul Their gimmick and more importantly work on vastly improving inside the squared circle IMO.
