Late to the party on this but Bugenhagen has been something of a YouTube character for a few years and seems to have enough charisma that he could do something else if the air guitar gimmick dies quickly.

You may not be into heavy metal and screaming but he has a few videos of himself being an over-the-top powerlifter and a few where he's a bit more calm giving solid training advice.

And, as a bonus, he prefers reading off notes in his monologue videos so he'll do well in WWE's scripted system.

Setbacks are the theme of Ciampa's career, unfortunately. The next NXT Champion comes down to either Adam Cole or Matt Riddle. NXT has a very babyface heavy roster so it is probably best to have the title on a heel so my pick would be Adam.

Really strong show tonight with all the tag matches delivering on top of some good storyline building packages and segments. Looks like Riddle is going after Dream, which should eliminate either of them from going for the vacant title.

Seems like Cole is both the popular and natural pick to carry on with Goldie. Question is, how do we get there? My vote is for the first ever NXT Rumble but most likely we'll get something closer to a multi-man ladder match.

Always glad to see someone's hard work get rewarded, but I was shocked to see WWE signed him considering their stance on managers who aren't just other wrestlers with a side hustle.  Managers are such a vital part of wrestling that nearly went extinct due to WWE's view on it, and I hope this won't be something that only is given a chance in NXT.

What direction would we like to see them go with Stokes?

Does he go at it with a tag team act like Corny and the Midnights, or does he need a beefy heel stable like the Heenan Family or the Million Dollar Corporation?

Given the way they book now, a proper Heenan Family style stable would be very useful - allows them to easily create alliances (like, why are Lashley/Corbin/Drew together? A manager would easily explain that) and generate turns with guys leaving/joining. The next babyface champ (Roman?) fending off monthly challengers from a heel stable would be so easy to do, and probably more fun without the weight of the heel stable being that of an "authority figure," which has been done to death.

With free agency being such a big talker for pro sports, managers vying for clients and clients trying to work managers for the most money seems like ready-made storylines for current wrestling.

I mean, MLW built months of story around Konnan and Salina doing basically that.
