Honestly, that may be to his benefit.
I feel like with the crop of upcoming call-ups (Owens, Balor, maybe Joe, etc.), he'd be the most likely to suffer from the "Itami-effect," basically what happened to Kenta debuting alongside Balor. He's a really great talent and connects with the crowds, but I don't nkow if he'd be able to stand out in contrast to Owens and Balor, especially in the main roster environment where he'd probably be having 3-5 minute matches.
Maybe being on the shelf for a bit and emerging afterward will work out better.
