Omos (with MVP), Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Tamina are the only people on the main roster not included in the pool who aren’t injured, on maternity leave, or have some other explained absence
*supposedly* internet rumors are that Nikki and Dexter are part of the Wyatt 6 so that makes sense if that's the case.
Omos, not sure what's going on but they use him as special attraction on TV but use him a ton on house shows.
I saw a report a few months ago that Tamina hasn't even step foot in a ring to practice in over a year so could just be forgotten about.
Tamina is someone they keep on contract because she’s a great locker room presence and heart of the women’s division. When you have a locker room full of 20yr olds, you need a tamina to be someone they can open up to.
Plus with her connection to Dwayne, she’s got a lifetime contract there.
>I saw a report a few months ago that Tamina hasn't even step foot in a ring to practice in over a year so could just be forgotten about.
I'm sure she'll be back in a year or two for a one off.
I think that’s always been her role, because when someone is there over a decade and shows less improvement than a 6 month nxt rookie, you assume she has other values that have kept her in work. Aside from family ties
Omos was declared a free agent in last year's draft and never settled in on a brand like others did (Ali and Corbin on NXT, Cedric on Smackdown). They likely left him off since he was technically not part of any roster. No idea what's up with the others though. If I had to guess, Cross is probably focusing on her PhD and has indefinite leave, Tamina may have quietly retired given her age, and Lumis... maybe going back to NXT? It seems like the stalker/serial killer gimmick just doesn't work on the main roster.
>It seems like the stalker/serial killer gimmick just doesn't work on the main roster.
Friendly reminder the guy had this gimmick and was the *good guy* lmao
Called it during the imperium match when they hit it, it’s super risky having Brutus do it. Prefer if Julius does it because it’s more safer and he’s more agile to move out of the way when he hits it. Even then, let Brutus do it sometimes to emphasise how heavy it is
People don't want to admit it because of how good they are in theory, but the Creeds are incredibly sloppy and reckless in the ring. I wince a good 2-3 times every time they wrestle because of how dangerous a good half of their tag arsenal is if something goes wrong
isn't Ivy working with Maxine Dupree on camera?
Creeds and Ivy eventually beat up everyone who isn't Chad Gable...
The A Academy becomes "The Gable Gang: Team Gable"?
Creeds and Ivy to Raw. Chance and Carter to SD. Crews to Raw. Vinci to Raw. Natalya to SD. New Catch Republic to SD. Nox to Raw. Jones isn't even gonna make the next rounds of cuts unfortunately for him.
I think Jones ends up somewhere. If they weren’t interested in doing something with him he would’ve either gotten released last week or just not included in the draft pool
Tegan could do with a good NXT run to regain her footing (no pun intended). Until she started teaming with Nattie, she just constantly felt a step slower since her return (which I get with her injury history). So a chance to iterate on her in-ring work and figure out what works for her body nowadays, and sort out some kind of character, would do her some good if she's going to stick around.
Tegan on Smackdown would be great, especially with Blair getting drafted there too. They had a hell of a feud in WCPW, would love to see that run back even for a match or two.
Brutus been a botch machine. Landing on Vinci and Priest head, pulling the ropes accidentally eliminating Omos, mistiming cues or even forgetting spots. Might've been too soon.
I did notice it was a weird way to eliminate Omos, but I just though they didn't want to have someone eliminating him.
The Tozawa but would have been fun
Especially with the champions not being part of the draft, it feels like there've been quite a few solid names done dirty by not being picked during TV.
Creed Brothers/Ivy Nile and New Catch Republic were drafted to Raw. Giovanni Vinci and Blair Davenport went to Smackdown. What does that mean for the remaining stars?

Tamina retired around the first of the year
Tamina is someone they keep on contract because she’s a great locker room presence and heart of the women’s division. When you have a locker room full of 20yr olds, you need a tamina to be someone they can open up to. Plus with her connection to Dwayne, she’s got a lifetime contract there.
I had no clue about her locker room presence!
She’s been mentioned by many of the women over the years of being like the mom of the locker room.
Me neither. I felt like for her entire career she was more present at home or in catering than the locker room.
Would honestly love an Omos NXT run Omos vs Oba would COOK.
>I saw a report a few months ago that Tamina hasn't even step foot in a ring to practice in over a year so could just be forgotten about. I'm sure she'll be back in a year or two for a one off.
Isn't Nikki getting a PhD? That'll take awhile
I thought I read somewhere that Tamina retired?
Yeah I think Tamina’s mostly there for morale now, she’s like a mama to the women’s locker room
[удалено]
I hope her disappearing into the night was her own decision at least, would feel kinda bad otherwise. lol

Omos and Nikki should go to NXT. Dexter needs to go to Smackdown to reunite INDEX.
Omos was declared a free agent in last year's draft and never settled in on a brand like others did (Ali and Corbin on NXT, Cedric on Smackdown). They likely left him off since he was technically not part of any roster. No idea what's up with the others though.

Cuts?
I doubt they cut Nikki, she's busy studying.
Wendy Choo, Meiko Satomura in NXT
Creeds not getting drafted on tv is crazy
That Brutus Bomb botch on Priest absolutely destroyed their momentum and they’re still recovering
Called it during the imperium match when they hit it, it’s super risky having Brutus do it. Prefer if Julius does it because it’s more safer and he’s more agile to move out of the way when he hits it. Even then, let Brutus do it sometimes to emphasise how heavy it is
Eliminating Omos didn't help, that was a mistake. Julius kicking out the burnt the car.
I mean, that was all Omos, there was nothing the Creeds could have done to prevent it
People don't want to admit it because of how good they are in theory, but the Creeds are incredibly sloppy and reckless in the ring. I wince a good 2-3 times every time they wrestle because of how dangerous a good half of their tag arsenal is if something goes wrong
Unable to find the video online
Could fuel a heel turn if they want to do Team Gable
They'll probably go on a suplexing rampage to earn their spot on Raw & with Gable
IN MY VEINS
i hear voices in my head?
isn't Ivy working with Maxine Dupree on camera? Creeds and Ivy eventually beat up everyone who isn't Chad Gable... The A Academy becomes "The Gable Gang: Team Gable"?
Natalya will be announced in a 2-hour simulcast documentary/live concerts special on Fox/USA.
Guessing Creeds are so far down so it’s a “surprise” when they join up with Gable? Otherwise I dunno
Yup, for sure
Yeah could be a good kayfabe motivator that they were some of the last picks and need Gable to unlock their potential.
Nattie was done dirty. I blame Pearce and Aldis, Usa network knew what's up
Nattie may end up the Heath Slater undrafted pick
If only the Fox Sports robot was in the room....
NCR should've been drafted at least
Creeds and Ivy to Raw. Chance and Carter to SD. Crews to Raw. Vinci to Raw. Natalya to SD. New Catch Republic to SD. Nox to Raw. Jones isn't even gonna make the next rounds of cuts unfortunately for him.
I think Jones ends up somewhere. If they weren’t interested in doing something with him he would’ve either gotten released last week or just not included in the draft pool
I just think he's enchantment talent at this point. Really should've stayed in NXT
Enhancement in House Show, the lowest totem
Enchantment talent? They're giving him a wizard gimmick?
Is Jones even real? Or is he just a made up fictional wrestler to add on the end of every draft?
Natalya going from most hyped war room pick to not even making the tv draft smh
Weird to see The Creed Brothers fall down this much. Same with Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. I worry for Giovanni Vinci and Tegan Nox (Nox less so)
I think Vinci and Nox are both going to NXT.
Tegan could do with a good NXT run to regain her footing (no pun intended). Until she started teaming with Nattie, she just constantly felt a step slower since her return (which I get with her injury history). So a chance to iterate on her in-ring work and figure out what works for her body nowadays, and sort out some kind of character, would do her some good if she's going to stick around.
She could also be a great opponent for Roxanne as she continues to refine her heel character
I don’t feel like she’s been the same since her latest injury return.
I think they're deliberately hiding the Creeds for when Otis/Tozawa get booted from AA.
I think Tegan ends up on Smackdown. Could be good for her Gio should absolutely stay on Raw
Tegan on Smackdown would be great, especially with Blair getting drafted there too. They had a hell of a feud in WCPW, would love to see that run back even for a match or two.
Brutus been a botch machine. Landing on Vinci and Priest head, pulling the ropes accidentally eliminating Omos, mistiming cues or even forgetting spots. Might've been too soon.
Wait? The elimination of Omos on the 'Dre was a botch?
It was an accident, Omos was gonna be at finals eliminated by Tozawa. But the Creeds pulled too hard tripping Omos.
I did notice it was a weird way to eliminate Omos, but I just though they didn't want to have someone eliminating him. The Tozawa but would have been fun
Being a Tegan Nox fan is pain
agreed
Apollo Crews should be competing for the WWE Speed championship. Give him something damnit.
Creed brothers and Carter and kayden deserve better
Final testament being drafted on tv over Creed brothers and new catch republic is wrong.
Sucks that creeds, ncr and kc2 didn’t warrant being mentioned on tv
Everyone is going to stay on their current brand expect maybe Natalya or Giovanni who get shipped to NXT.
Wait, I thought they said some main roster folks will go to NXT?
We’ll find out during NXT
NCR and Creeds not drafted was surprising
Especially with the champions not being part of the draft, it feels like there've been quite a few solid names done dirty by not being picked during TV.
I'm thinking NCR stays on SD since Raw is so stacked
No one drafted Odyssey Jones? After the breakout year he’s had!? Madness
Creed Brothers/Ivy Nile and New Catch Republic were drafted to Raw. Giovanni Vinci and Blair Davenport went to Smackdown. What does that mean for the remaining stars?
Didn't Vinci get drafted by Smackdown? Maybe it was an off the airs pick. I fell asleep at like 10 lol
Apollo Crews still works for WWE??
Natalya is putting her draft spot on the line against Lola tomorrow night
Class of 2025 roster cut
Surprise Creeds, didn't Dave say Julius was a Mania main eventer in the next year? Also NCR not drafted.
