During the first years he was to ace of NXT UK and after Covid, NXT UK was closed with Bate as the final champion
And last year he was the 3rd NXT superstar with the most matches, clearly WWE was setting him up to MR schedule !

I think HHH always knew he was special and really wanted to make sure Vince doesn't mess him up
I think he has unlimited potential lowkey
