I want Christian to take a tag team under his wing. This would have worked with somebody like Trent Barretta and his partner. Trying to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of tag team wrestlers.

The problem they have with the transition (and I've stated this before) is they don't go back to the start of the characters journey. Somebody like a Emma got over slowly with the NXT crowd until they were crazy for her. She was this weird girl that couldn't get into the ring and did a silly dance, and many didn't seem to get it at first. Over time she ingratiated herself to the NXT audience, they got behind her to the point I remember the crowd popping for her getting into the ring. Then the dance caught on. They saw her "struggle", and accepted her.

Then BAM! she's on the main roster as this "finished article", reduced to the quirky dance, and put with Santino.

Bo Dallas is a prime example. He was a smiling, old-school style babyface that the crowd rejected. This led to his development into the over-the-top character he became. On NXT the crowd knew he wasn't genuine. On arrival to WWE, the crowd didn't know what to make of him; is he genuine or is this all a little facetious.

I wouldn't say that WWE and NXT have wholesale "different audiences", but the NXT audience only represents a small minority of WWE fans. The guys (and gimmicks) in NXT could get over on the main brand, but they need to be handled in the right way.
