If they did sign, great for them. I liked Bennett and Maria in TNA. I will agree it would have been cool to see more of drunk Bennett. If they are skipping NXT, I think it'll be more cause of Maria ( I know, Drew McIntyre could have skipped NXT as well). Good luck to them Not sure I agree with him on that move. I'm guessing he wanted to make sure he was totally clear of his 3MB stigma but I think we've seen from Gallows that your old stuff doesn't matter anymore the way it did in the past, unless it becomes an Albert/Tensai situation. Drew was the best babyface World Champion TNA has had since AJ left. I think a lot of people know what he was doing there and definitely in Evolve. Christian has talked about going to WWECW after returning from TNA. He essentially decided to be the big fish in the little pond rather than just return to Raw/Smackdown (I believe it was Smackdown at the time specifically) as just another guy. I think Christian sold himself short. I think Drew is doing the same, but I hope it works out for him. He's awesome and I think he'll succeed and be the man in NXT, but I also think he'd succeed on Smackdown right now too. I do think he's the guy who will take the ball from Roode to allow Roode to move onto the main roster. I actually agree with McIntyre on NXT. I brought up McIntyre cause i felt when i said that the reason i believe Bennett was skipping NXT was cause of Maria and I thought people were gonna argue my point with McIntyre. But yeah you have a good point.

Nxt doesn't need big stars. Its ing developmental. It's not super happy fun time for established wrestlers. If anyone needs developmental it's Bennett. NXT is more than developmental now, though. It's pretty much WWE's own indy fed. And since they're a touring brand, they need some drawing power. Plus, it's a place for guys like Roode to craft and perfect their characters once they come over. And that's exactly why Bennett should be sent through NXT first. The only reason they're bringing him straight to the main roster has to be Maria.

Personality wise, i dont think he needs much help.

I feel this has more to do with Total Divas than anything.

The only reason they're bringing him straight to the main roster has to be Maria. It likely is due to Maria. But he already utilizes a very WWE-esque style anyway, and he's probably looked at more as an IC/US level guy anyway, so it doesn't shock me that they'd throw him up there rather than Roode.

Would rather have him back in the kingdom.
Hopefully he's dropped that awful TNA gimmick.

I watched that TNA wedding, and Maria's voice is horrendous. What I want to know is, why didn't Mickie bring her husband with her? I'd much rather see him, than this Bennett bloke.

It's been said for years that Bennett was made for WWE, so I'm definitely interested in seeing how it works out. With Miz/Maryse on Raw, it opens up a spot for a SD power couple

Maria is the star of the team she had really improved as a talker over the years. Mike Bennett is an ok worker but there's nothing special about him.
