As seen last night, there’s more WWE talent showing up on NXT and there is more to come.
#BWE’s private Twitter account said today that fans can expect to see a “few more” main roster talent showing up on NXT soon. Furthermore, you can also expect to see more NXT talent showing up on Raw and SmackDown. It’s been reported in various places this year that names like Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov are main roster bound soon. #BWE confirmed wrote that both men will “have their time” before moving.
#BWE tweeted the following:
“A lot of roster movement as i mentioned after Mania. Expect to see names go around until they balance every brand.
How you guys like the uplift of NXT?
Few NXT talents will jump to Raw n SD soon. Dragunov Bron and more will have their time before moving.”
This is all part of Nick Khan’s attempt at making NXT into a viable third brand as the company looks to include NXT as part of their media rights package. #BWE stated that everyone is on board with Khan’s vision.
In two weeks at NXT Gold Rush, Seth Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker and NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes will defend against Baron Corbin. The rating for that show will be the first big indication of if the latest moves are working to boost TV ratings.
