Tommy End, Crazy Mary Dobson, a repackaging/debut of someone who hasn't been on TV (ever or for a while). Who knows. It would be weird if they bypassed Tommy End's Satanism for Apocalypticism.

People like hating The Revival, and they make natural heels. I would imagine that they wouldn't put them against the Authors of Pain, but rather just start pairing up people.

It's not like it would be hard for The Revival to go up against bigger guys. They always focus on a particular limb in their matches, so all they have to do is focus on their legs so they remain below them. Not like I see them facing off against the Authors of Pain. The Dudley Boys are hardly that much bigger, especially height-wise, and we don't even know how long they're going to stay together.

Not like Noam Dar can't just hitch a ride with someone else until he learns how it works, either. Just ask questions and whatnot.

It's not the first time he's been in the US, either. He did a few matches here for TNA, after all.

Considering it's pretty clear he had no idea what Bobby Roode was saying to him during their promo during the final NXT before TakeOver, it's a safe bet that he has a lot to learn.

Oh, I don't know. It was New York, and there was absolutely zero chance you were going to get them to cheer for Cien over Roode. The best Cien could do, which is what he did, was get the crowd on his side at least a little. The structure of the match seemed to give Roode plenty of chances for him to play to the crowd, so they knew.

Cien's music is still awesome, though.

There was a very distinct shot of a woman walking, which stood out from everything else in that package, so I'm fairly sure this is Crazy Mary.
I interpreted it as a woman running away. There was also an obvious man clenching his fist.

Possible stable including Tommy End and Crazy Mary?

Well, I guess taking the risk to go from Japan to America to gain recognition there and winning the top belt in WWE development is enough of an accomplishment to say he deserves it for his willingness to take such chances?

I'm not sure how you'd put that into a chant, though. "IT WORKED OUT! IT WORKED OUT! IT WORKED OUT!"

Well, yeah, but that was because he was desperate to remain champion. That doesn't really factor in here, and I doubt he'd really pull it off with the kind of reactions he gets in NXT.

Kansai just naturally sounds intimidating and is used for a lot of villains of movies and when portraying Yakuza in Japan.

It's probably similar to how people view the New York and northern Jersey accents when people like De Niro and Pesci use it, respectively.

WWE's insistence on forcing (or at the very best strongly encouraging) every female employee to get cosmetic surgery is still super sketchy

Is that even still a thing, or is that just the talent themselves deciding to do that? I mean, from what I've seen, most aren't getting that work done, but I could be wrong.

I'd say she's more 5'0" if not 5'1". Either way, she's above dwarf height. I would believe if she was a legit dwarf, there would be health problems or at the very least problems with her mobility. There are accomplished dwarf gymnasts, even Olympians, but I doubt she could keep such a thing secret if she were legitimately one.

Is WWE even ripping off TNA? I mean, the whole "mentor and pupil eventually clash" thing has been going on for wrestling for decades, even since Zbyzsko and Sammartino fought. The Wyatt Compound thing was established even before Bray debuted but I'll agree that it was obvious they did it in response to Final Deletion.

I can point to a lot more instances of TNA ripping off WWE than vice versa, but I guess people just like to talk about the bigger company stealing from the smaller one.
