>>16229853it's easy to name all the big names of NXT that might be ready, but you need to remember to leave some down there because NXT needs to draw as well. the terminology of "MANY" in all caps has me wondering about the specific number as well. i think they'll take a bit more from NXT's women's division, because it is so relentlessly stacked right now and main roster's is simultaneously so trash. it's also important to factor in the heel-face ratio, and where these people would slot into the card. do we need more main event women's faces on smackdown, do we need more lower midcard men's heels on raw... like i think (2/3rds of) fatal influence are clearly ready, but if roxanne and cora go up, NXT still needs main event level women's heels (which i think they're priming them for), if oba goes up, ethan can't because they need main event level men's heels, etc. also, this is assuming they're using their current gimmicks. a lot of NXT gimmicks are very much "NXT" - a certain goofy vibe you can immediately identify as NXT. as much as i would love to see them up there, something like chase U might not fly on the main roster. some might continue on their gimmicks, HHH could change some of them, but it may affect their choices of who goes up.
my guesses as for the men
>oba femi>axiom (singles)>nathan frazer (singles)>gallusand the women
>jaida parker>tatum paxley>roxanne perez>cora jade>sol rucathey should also take metafour but only noam and the girls, leave oro in NXT, he's not even close to ready. also give, big match meiko a main roster run.
