Nah, they didn't do that with Penta.

The main roster right now is stacked. Having Ricky on NXT will help their men's singles division and allow them to continue to grow it. Starks might get lost on the main roster, especially during WrestleMania season. Having him on NXT is perfect.

Having NXT benefit from Starks being on the promotion and continuing to grow their numbers to spite AEW is icing on the cake. lolz

Yep, he needs NXT and NXT needs him right now.
The men's NXT division is kind of weak right now so he's a good addition.
Like I said before, he needs to refine his character and not come off so much as a wanna-be Rock.
NXT is the perfect place to do that.

You said that their characters would get changed on the main roster.
Yes, that would happen under the old regime all the time but not so much anymore.
None of the people you mentioned had their characters changed from NXT.
They just haven't succeeded on the main roster (yet) for various other reasons.

The only one on that list that's a bit of headscratcher is Austin Theory.
They were pushing him big-time under Vince (even had Theory beat John Cena at a WM), but ever since then it's like they're punishing him for some reason.

Character change in the sense that most NXT call-ups are winners and champions in NXT and/or other companies, but perpetual losers on the main roster.

That's always been my main hangup on watching NXT. The success ratio seem like 1:5 when called up. :dunno:

Austin Theroy is indeed a headscratcher. I never understood his big push and since that Cena win, he has done nothing. NOTHING!

They should have moved his segment to the end of the show. But I'm show they did not want to risk it getting cut off by the network.

Probably did it at that segment to bump the ratings for the end of the show.

I compare NXT and the main roster call-ups to the G-league and NBA call-ups.
Most of the G-league call-ups (even the All-Stars, MVPs, etc.) will not make it in the NBA long-term because of the difference in talent level.
Same with the NXT talent that goes to RAW or Smackdown.
Being a champion in NXT does not guarantee long-term success on the main roster.
You have a different audience that you're catering to (hardcore/smaller fanbase in NXT versus more casual/wider fanbase for RAW and Smackdown).
