What If Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn Ran NXT Instead Of Triple H?

In August of 2012, Florida Championship Wrestling was rechristened WWE NXT. The former wrestling/reality show hybrid was revamped into WWE’s developmentally territory by Triple H as a true wrestling show unlike RAW and SmackDown where it’s pretty much more about the entertainment prospect that relies too much on promos and comedy.

Throughout the years, Superstars such as current WWE World Heavyweight Championship Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Paige, Rusev, Kevin Owens, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Neville have made a splash on the main roster to varying degrees of success as well as future main roster talents such as Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Bayley and Apollo Crews waiting in the wings.

But what would happen if Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn ran WWE NXT instead of Triple H? What would WWE NXT be like? Let’s decipher what kind of show WWE NXT be should McMahon and Dunn run the show:

Mojo Rawley would be the NXT World Champion instead of Finn Balor.

The Alexandria, Virginia native has everything that both McMahon and Dunn envy: his huge size (6’4″) and his intimidating look (272 pounds) and is highly regarded as a second coming of Reigns. His physique would no doubt make him the face of WWE NXT.

By contrast, the high-flying Balor would serve as a jobber on WWE NXT simply because his 5’11” and 190 pound frame does not appeal to both McMahon and Dunn.

Charlotte, Sasha Banks and other WWE NXT Divas would be working as either TNA Knockouts and SHIMMER Athletes instead of WWE.

The WWE Divas are seen as eye candy instead of true athletes by McMahon and Dunn in recent years thanks to Kelly Kelly, who was at one time, Dunn’s favorite WWE Diva and wanted to follow Kelly Kelly’s lead by turning models into wrestlers. As a result, the current NXT Divas Champion would be somebody like these girls, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders:


By contrast, the likes of Charlotte, Paige, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks would very likely be employed by SHIMMER and TNA as both companies take female wrestling very seriously compared to the WWE.

More reliance on comedy.

Let’s face it: both McMahon and Dunn are huge fans of comedy gimmicks as seen by Stardust (which is seen as McMahon and Dunn’s favorite Cody Rhodes gimmick), Santino Marella, Adam Rose and The Great Khali, among others.

Current NXT tag team Simon Gotch and Aiden English, AKA The Vaudevillians, would be perfect comedy characters on the show and no doubt, NXT Tag Team Champions instead of the more serious current champs, Blake and Murphy.
