I honestly hate how they just randomly show up, yeah its cool and they get a huge surprise pop...but I think they need to be more creative with these calls up since they have a brand split. Like they announce on a RAW or smackdown a NXT talent is being called up but hasn't signed to a raw or smackdown contract. Have Kurt and Daniel Bryan go out there making a chase for why so and so should sign with RAW or smackdown. And at PPVs have one of the big segments being a press conference of the NXT star making his or her choice. It makes them feel like a bigger deal imo specially if you have the GMs fighting over the person.

That's a good idea. They should make it a bigger deal when a NXT talent goes up the the main roster like you said.

Reminds me of before Survivor Series 2002, where they were negotiating over Scott Steiner to get him on a roster
