NXT Call ups to fill out Raw & Smackdown

Samoa Joe
Finn Balor
Blake & Murphy
Bayley
Alexa Bliss

One of them is injured and I think they're officially broken up.

If they send R-Truth down to NXT, he's going to stay there and probably become a trainer. I don't think he's ready for that.

Rusev can finally fully shine :blessed:

Wonder if Cody knew about this

If he did, he might have stayed. :patrice:

Wow, y'all thought rematches and 50/50 booking was bad before? Raw hasn't been able to be booked with enough star power to keep people watching for years now, why would anyone think splitting the roster in half is going to be good for either show?

This isn't like 2002 when the already stacked WWF roster then absorbed the WCW roster. This is an era where they struggle to not have people wrestle 6 times in a month before their PPV match.

Guys who will be elevated in this split

Sami Zyan (likely will become the new Daniel Bryan sympathy character for a brand, not just a IC title mirdcard guy)

Rusev (Main Event heel of a show w/ Lana....ala Macho Man and Sheri)

Baron Corbin (will be the IC or US champion of a brand)

Tyler Breeze & Fandango will be the new "MNM" for Smackdown or Raw

Personally, I would love to see Big Cass turn on Enzo and eat on his own. Enzo will never be a great ring guy so let Cass get some mega heat by turning on him down the road and propelling his heel run.

Enzo needs to manage a tag team like "American Alpha" be their Jimmy Hart and really get them over

Need to see what the booking teams look like before getting excited

So I assume Stephanie and Shane are going to run both? I'm sure we'll see the return of GM's.

With the right NXT call ups this could be great, the fact that SD will be live already means it will be better than the last brand split.
