To The Next Level: Several NXT Stars Promoted On Monday Night Raw And Raw Talk

They’re coming up. NXT is a special feature for WWE, as it allows the company to build up its next generation in house rather than having to build them up elsewhere. As a result, it can make a big difference when someone is moved up from NXT to one of the main roster. There have now been several names called up in recent days, and NXT is going to have some holes to fill.

Opinion: This is quite the night for NXT, but at the same time there are going to be some major holes in what NXT is going to be able to do. NXT lost a good chunk of its roster and they are going to have to fill in those gaps one way or another. They might be able to promote some other names to help, but there is going to be a rough transitional period for at least a little while.
