I'm going to post this again and not mention stupid pills so that maybe it won't get deleted. Let's look at the recent first time NXT elite releases and when they were signed. Elite 82 Keith Lee - Signed by May 1st 2018 - TV - August 8th 2018 (had a match prior to signing) Elite 81 Bianca Belair - Signed 2016 - TV - May 2017 The Street Profits - Signed 2016 - First Match was 2016 but 2017 is when they changed the name to Ford Elite 80 The Viking Raiders - Signed Jan. 2018 - TV debut April 2018 Elite 79 Io Shirai - Signed June 2018 - TV - November 2018 Elite 79 Matt Riddle - Signed July 2018 - TV - August 2018 Do you see a pattern here? What do all those people have in common? About two year window. Kross was reported as being under contract in February 2020. Everything hit the fan in March. So either Mattel got him scanned before he ever had a match on TV or they saw it best for business to get the guy scanned during a pandemic. Are you following? Kross is not Gronk he is not Brock. He might be in your mind...wait I said I wouldn't mention those pills. Dude dude dude he is the next big thing. Change his name to Gronk Lesnar.

Karrion Kross.. Finn Balor debuted in 2014 and we got him in Summer 2015...

Keith Lee and Io won the titles this year & this year they got figures, and in a few months Karrion Kross won the tittle, so makes sense to get a fig for next year. Even tho he’s out of tv due to injury. Finn Balor debuted in 2014 and we got him in Summer 2015...

The reason that we got Gronk and none of those other jobbers is because Gronk is a way bigger star than those guys.

That’s just the wrestlers themselves, but if we’re talking about them being a tag team (which we are because they are a tag team and that’s the figures that are being released as), then you are correct.

Wow, people are getting really Kross about this. Maybe we should drop it and not Karrion with such a contentious subject.

Ignoring my own amazing advice. To the point about Kross's quick turnaround, I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that they scanned him even before his debut. He was clearly earmarked to win the NXT Title from his debut: he appeared two months after being signed, and it was four months from that to his title win. Wouldn't it make sense to limit the turnaround time for figures on a guy you've got big plans for? If not for the injury he was probably going to be holding that title for a long time.
It also seems like they're trying to shorten the NXT FTITL window. KUSHIDA debuted in April 2019, and Garza debuted there in June 2019. I'm not sure when Elite 84 is going to be released, but with 82 scheduled for December, it's possible that 84 shows up as early as January. That would be a year and a half from Garza's debut to his figure, which is pretty impressive for a random cruiserweight. In either case the window is below 2 years, which I think we'll see more of with NXT as a cable TV brand.

They are actually releasing a figure of one of the members of Kriss Kross. Figure will come with cloth clothes that are on backwards. Bill said the figure is gonna make ya JUMP JUMP!

I assume that the SS88 Mega Powers will be one of the next Elite 2-packs, and there's a Hogan planned for the Legends line, so that might be why there's no Elite.
