Reasons why Ava Raine is the right call for the NXT General Manager’s post

There might be some counter opinions that Raine has not had enough contribution to be given that position. But regardless of the opinions, Raine etched her name as a promising act after making his debut in the company two years back. She quite earned her position as the youngest general manager of the Yellow brand.

Moreover, there are some solid pointers to back her appointment in the crucial spot.

The first reason why she would do well as the GM of NXT is the fact that William Regal made his way back into the company. Regal joined forces with Tony Khan’s troops back in 2022 only to revert to his old promotion after a year. Carrying out a behind-the-scenes role for a while regal showed up to welcome Raine to the new chair. giving his guidance and closure has been a huge boost for Raine’s newest endeavor from now on, her chance of acing has also been heightened.

The second guiding light for Raine will be none other than his father. The Rock being on the TKO board of directors now, might collide well with his daughter’s role, enabling her to run the brand better.
