According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE officials are reportedly behind NXT superstar Dylan Miley and expect big things from the young WWE new-comer. The reason they are so high on Miley reportedly is because of his look and size.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that WWE officials believe Miley has a unique look and potentially could be something special if they package him right. He has appeared at different NXT events outside of television tapings, but is scheduled to debut on the “NXT” program on the WWE Network son.
Miley is 285 pounds and stands at 6’3″. Along with his “Vince McMahon” look, Miley is equipped with large hands and feet that some compare to the look of “The Beast” from the original X-Men line-up (not the blue version of Beast).
Miley reportedly worked a match during WrestleMania 31 Axxess and impressed not only the WWE brass that saw him, but the crowd standing around the ring. There were a lot of new unknown NXT superstars that wrestled matches during WrestleMania Axxess, but Miley captivated the crowd by merely his look and style.
Apparently he didn’t do much in the match, but it was his uniqueness, his “it factor,” that caught the attention of fans and officials alike. Miley is said to be a green talent, and a long-term work in progress, but in the eyes of the higher-ups in the company, he’s a moldable piece of clay that has “the wrestling look” McMahon and others drool over.

This guy’s hands are freaky huge. Met him in Orlando. Like…almost André huge.
