WWE Rumors: Two NXT Stars Being Groomed For 205 Live

205 Live has received a facelift over the past few weeks with Triple H in charge behind the scenes. We have seen a few NXT Superstars participate in the Cruiserweight Title tournament, including Roderick Strong and Buddy Murphy.

According to a new rumor, they could be joined down the road by a few more NXT Superstars.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer mentions two names that he has heard as being groomed for 205 Live in the future.

The first name mentioned is Lio Rush. Rush got himself some backstage heat from his Tweet following Emma’s release. This ticked off several WWE stars, including Bray Wyatt who responded. Rush isn’t getting a push in NXT at the moment but Meltzer says there are many who are very high on his ability to be a star.

The second name that Meltzer has heard is Ricochet.

Our Take: Lio Rush seems like a no-brainer to me based on his style and what he is currently doing. I am not sure how I feel about Ricochet though as I think Triple H would want him as a top star on NXT for the next year or so. We will have to wait and see what happens.

How would you feel about either of these two going to 205 Live?
