Reed - will probably be happiest in Japan. Closer to his family, and they will utilise him well I feel.

Yeah Reed would be sick in NJPW I agree, fits thats style and they only really have Cobb as a big monster Gaijin atm so I feel he slots in that company reallly, really well and could bring his value up even more there.

most of these guys will land in njpw roh mlw in my opinion for sure. not sure AEW grabs any of these except maybe Ruff as a long term project? MAYBE Reed but I feel he would just be fucking perfect right now for MLW and NJPW, do a good run there and come back to the majors once the top end is a little less crowded. I think he can be a close to top guy in either of those company.
Mean, AEW is picking up WWE's scraps so. Honestly, them signing Mercedes as a coach or whatever for their women's division really isn't a bad idea. As for everyone else like I said, they will find a place some where or just freelance. Mean, hell Bobby alone could work wherever just on name value alone really.

As for Reed, he would be a better fit in All Japan or even NOAH due to his style and everything, but that is all me liking those companies and not caring for New Japan so take that how you will.

like obviously he'll be great anywhere he goes but theres no room in aew atm and there's already a lot of large men in impact so i really do feel njpw/mlw is the best landing spot for mr reed right now

id say any of the large pacific promotions are equally a good shout for him

Mercedes I could maybe see as a coach ya, I really do think they may pickup leon as a project because they can put him on dark and the factory and thats fine. Fish I think retires or goes back to ROH? These would be my guesses. the other young guys either go to njpw strong or impact i guess? or other american indies

Couldn't even put her own hands up and resulted in a KO......no fundamentals.

I feel sorry for anyone that sees NXT as their #1 show though - which up to this point was an understandable standpoint. Not sure what life boat, if any there is for you at this point.
Nothing like over exaggerating about a bunch of unimportant names to the brand being released.

They've literally said - they are rebranding the whole concept of NXT. That's literally a fact. The names at this point, are just a fraction of the clear shift in the NXT project - but sure - bury your head in the sand and take the militant view of - how dare you speak out against WWE. Hilarious.

I don't know about the rest of these names, but releasing Bobby Fish feels like a big deal to me. Indies must be chomping at the bit.

not an avid NXT watcher but Reed was NXT NA Champion like...weeks ago lol
I think one of the other guys is also an ex NA Champion this year (? correct me if it's 2020 )
one had literally just joined a brand new factions.
Its pretty weird
