You kind of have to include them. With so many wrestlers under the WWE umbrella, you have to do something with most of them. The best thing that WWE can do is mix them all up and assign them to separate rosters. That has been the case since October when the WWE Draft split things up between Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. However, they are going to be changed again, but this time with a twist.
Back in November, WWE presented Survivor Series, which featured NXT as a third brand for the first time. NXT pulled off the huge upset by defeating the other two shows and becoming an equal brand in the WWE. Their stars are now some of the biggest in wrestling and that involves a certain status level. Now, it means that they have reached another milestone as well.
According to Sportkeeda.com, the upcoming WWE Superstar Shakeup will include NXT, meaning wrestlers will be moving to and coming from NXT. Previous editions had included NXT names moving to Monday Night Raw and SmackDown but never the other way. A few main roster names have moved down to NXT in recent months, including Finn Balor, Killian Dain and Breezango.
There have been some big moves in the Shakeup before. Check out some of the most important:
Opinion: They kind of have to do this. NXT came in and defeated both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown at the Survivor Series and it makes a lot sense to bring them up to the same level. You can’t do much else besides this as the promotion has become one of the biggest in all of wrestling. Some more names heading down would be a big upgrade for them so let us see what they can do.
Who do you want to see move up to the main rosters? Who should head to NXT? Let us know in the comments below.
