I think the only logical way from a kayfabe standpoint that Nakamura wouldn't come up is if they truly make everyone eligible, including champions.

So you have the 3 champions: Samoa Joe, Asuka, and The Revival who all would be drafted because as champions it only makes sense that the GMs would want to add winners to their shows. Balor and Bayley have been two of the faces of NXT for ages so both are sensible call-ups. That then leaves American Alpha who would be viewed as a boost with both shows trying to shore up their tag divisions.

Yeah it may still be a stretch to have Nakamura be #7 on that list but at least I can understand it.

I also don't think it would cripple NXT because I'd just imagine the champs would work double duty like Owens last year. The Revival in particular I could see hanging onto the belts for ages.
