Several WWE Superstars are open to moving to NXT

Several WWE Superstars are open to moving to NXT. The Black and Gold Brand has been at the top of its game for quite some time now.

Under Triple H, WWE NXT has been one of, if not the most consisted shows in the WWE. It should come as no surprise that several of WWE’s main roster stars do not mind going back there to explore fresh storylines and match ups.

In last year or so, several superstars have moved to NXT. Finn Balor moved back to the NXT. Kevin Owens was a part of the show last year. Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Bayley were recently a part of the show. Charlotte Flair even won the NXT Women’s Championship before losing the title to Io Shirai at NXT: In your house.

Tom Colohue of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, who reported last year that the WWE had prepared a shortlist of Superstars who could end up working in NXT, now reports that several more WWE superstar have expressed their desire to head to NXT.

“There are actually a lot of names who are interested in doing that,” he said. “I had reported that there was a shortlist of WWE Stars who wanted to work in NXT. And then shortly afterwards, Kevin Owens appeared at Takeover, and suddenly that’s when my report started getting picked up other sites. So, people seemed to think I was saying after the fact, ‘Ohh, Kevin Owens is staying in NXT’, when in reality, before the fact, I had said that WWE stars would be appearing in NXT. That was a wonderful one where people were saying, ‘oh you’re just guessing’, when in reality, Kevin Owens had confirmed my report from months before.”

“Since then, I’ve learnt a lot more names. Asuka being one of them. Cesaro. Naomi has confirmed that she tried to go back to NXT. Members of the New Day have mentioned that they would love to work in NXT. Ricochet, Kevin Owens, Charlotte Flair, and, Sasha Banks and Bayley – who I had mentioned a couple of months ago I believe, as people who really wanted to spend more time in NXT and that is why the tag team championships of the women have been set up as they are. So it could be anyone of those.”

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
