Wish I had the actual reason why they've stalled but back when they first got together in NXT I was told this would be their lot. Vince simply hates the collegiate Wrestler gimmick.

NXT sucks at developing gimmicks that work for people. Working a small room of smarks that show up every week is so different from working an arena. There are so many gimmicks that worked well on NXT that died a fast death on the main roster.

my thoughts on jinder are simply that both vince and triple h admire the "dedication" it takes to get roided up and get a physique like that (although it's not like you just take the juice and end up looking like that, you have to still put work in), plus india is a large market. him hitting finn too hard is probably neither here nor there. that happens all the time in wrestling and vince probably even thinks it makes you more of a man or something.

plus they probably wanted to give randy a bad guy to face off with and while rowan would have made better storyline sense, jinder is much more likely to get boos. ziggler would have made sense too i guess but they probably have other plans for him, plus we've seen that before.
Well that and WWE is trying to make headway in India so they want to push Indian talent more heavily right now.

AA was way over when they debuted but the whole Slater/Rhyno deal and Ryder's injury basically killed the entire tag division on Smackdown. "Charismatic amateur(s) with awesome suplexes" is a proven gimmick in wrestling (see: Steiners, Angle).

Blaming that on NXT and not the main roster's lovely booking is about as backward as it gets.
