Fresh meat distribution!
*AHEM*
So we've all seen the video package of the NXT acts heading to the main roster: *Lars Sullivan *Lacey Evans *EC3 *Heavy Machinery *Nikki Cross (even though she has already debuted on SmackDown) I'm interested to hear what brand you would like to see these acts go to and what you would do with them. Let's talk about it. |
Regardless of the brand, I think that Lacey Evans is going to pleasantly surprise some people. She may be better suited for SmackDown, because I feel they can use a strong female heel presence.
I also have recently come around on Heavy Machinery, and I think they would do well on Raw. More entertaining than the B-Team and the Deleters of Worlds, at least. |
The obvious one is hoping that Lars goes to SmackDown due to Raw already having enough "big men"
|
EC3 would also def do better on SmackDown... Will just be "another Bobby Roode" on Raw... but that might happen on SmackDown too
|
Yeah, Lars would stand out in a good way on SmackDown. Maybe even have him be Daniel Bryan's muscle.

RAW:
Lacey Evans Heavy Machinery Smackdown: Nikki Cross EC3 Lars Sullivan Feel confident in everyone except Lars for where they probably will go. RAW needs a new tag team more than Smackdown due to the miserable state of their tag division. Also think Lacey fits better on RAW and Nikki on Smackdown. In terms of mid-card, RAW has a pretty bloated one because of the log jam in the mid-card and IC scene since the Universal title is rarely around. Feel Smackdown would have better use for him even with their struggles of using guys adequately. |
I'm quite cynical about everyone's main roster potential...because main roster. Lacey Evans will be pushed as a star.

EC3, if booked correctly, could easily be the next coming of JBL and Alberto Del Rio.
In terms of brand, I think Raw would be a great landing spot for him. On Smackdown he would be stuck behind Bryan, Joe, and Orton. On Raw he could overtake Lashley easily, and with the way they have botched Ambrose's heel turn, he could also slide ahead of Dean on the pecking order. Lesnar doesn't matter cause he isn't really around enough to be a heel or a face, and when he is there it depends on who he is facing more so than anything he does. That just leaves Drew, who still feels like something differently entirely. He is still doing heel stuff, but in a cool badass way. I can't imagine he is going to keep the majority of fans booing him for much longer. I can easily see him having a monster performance in winning the Rumble, and I think in a Mania bout for the Universal title, he would be cheered over Brock or Braun. |
Trying to engage with this, I think SmackDown could use some fresh tag teams. Heavy Machinery there. Lars Sullivan would be better served there. Lacey Evans feels like a Raw girl. EC3 would be better on Raw, but I quite like the idea of him being a lackey for Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, or possibly being in a tag team with Miz. Actually, that would suck from an in-ring perspective.
Nikki Cross...eh. She's not a woman I care a lot about, so to me she's just going to be another body wherever she goes. I guess SmackDown? |

No idea what they will do with EC3, I don't really see a match for him on either roster to feud with Lacey hasn't impressed me much, she's solid in the ring, but the gimmick is a bit dated and boring imo....It would have fit perfect in the attitude era when the women were deemed more to be strippers than actual athletes, but she's good enough to deserve a shot at least. Heavy Machinery need a mouthpiece, every time either of them open their mouths I immediately lose interest... If they do it right, Lars versus Braun could be a main event at WM36. Biggest upside of anyone in NXT since Drew headed for Raw. |
Strowman is much larger than Lars so they need to be on separate brands. A 6'3'' "monster" doesn't last long so I have low expectations.
