Nah, that would have buried Page. NXT is the farm league and WWE doesn't want to bury their up and comers.I feel like they completely missed an opportunity for Rock to do his thing here. He should have walked up and asked Ava "Who in Rudy Pooh is this? As he answer and goes yo introduce himself. Rock replies It doesn't matter what your name is!
I wonder how Mox, Edge, Lashley feel about the New Era of the WWE and if they have any regrets. With the new TV deal you know everyone is getting a raise.
If Page was already on the Main Roster (like Theory last year) I could see them getting away with him doing his schtick.
As far as Max, Edge and Lashley, I think they are getting paid well and would be lost in the shuffle. Lashley had a better relationship with Vince so him leaving was a result of this new era of WWE. Mox has been left behind with regards to where his Shield brethren are.
Edge, he just looks old as shit. if we were to compare this to movies, Edge's career (prior to retiring) was like The Godfather. His return at the Royal Rumble and main event run in WWE three/four years ago was a good bookend, like The Godfather II.
Edge's run in AEW is like The Godfather III. No one asked for it, it didn't have to happen and it somewhat takes away from his legacy. His AEW run will be forgotten once he retires for good.
