David Finlay & Drilla Maloney would be great for the NXT Roster.

Lenny

Maybe it's just me, but if he goes to WWE, I kinda want him to skip nxt and go straight to the main roster. Probably wouldn't happen though.

Abby

He probably would want to work with his dad and brother who both working for NXT currently

Abby

Why? He hasn’t done any cross over stuff still 2022 and his dad is a NXT coach/producer and his brother is in WWE

Osuman Massaquoi

David already showed he doesn't like AEW plus his brother and father is in WWE

Osuman Massaquoi

Not to forget, this is the perfect time for him to take over as one of the top heels in NXT

Brendan Bdotlion Beal

Oh I didn’t know that, but I still think WWE probably isn’t a good fit

Aristidis Fantis

There's no reason whatsoever to believe that if Finlay decides to leave NJPW that he would choose NXT over AEW

Aristidis Fantis

There is nothing to suggest that Finlay doesn't like AEW.

Kevin Knight came to AEW in part because WWE wanted him in NXT and he said he isn’t a developmental wrestler.

Flood_Stud

Unfortunately there is, his dad and brother both work in the Fed it’s all but a given

Aristidis Fantis

He would have gone there years ago if his dad was any influence on his decision
