John Cena would have come back to humble Tomasso Ciampa for talking shit about the main roster and been the outside heel coming in. All those things are easy. Having Charlotte Flair win the NXT Women's Championship is...yeah, that's not them busting it.
You sure about that? Obviously, Cena coming back for an NXT feud would be huge but they can’t even afford to drag him away from bigger and better things for the main product on a regular basis, much less NXT. As far as Bryan, Mysterio, Ricochet and Ciampa... Let’s be honest... None of them are much bigger of a draw than Charlotte. They’re all just cogs in the wheel at this point. If WWE were trying, they’d be doing exactly what they’re doing. They’d suddenly start mixing their C-show and A-show talent, oddly have the C-show beat the A-show on a brand war PPV, and then put a C-show title on an A-show star.

We can argue exactly how important it is but if you don’t think they’re trying given everything they’ve done, you’re in denial.
