Do you think NXT could work as a 3rd "main roster" brand?
Just something I was thinking about a little while ago while posting in some rassling threads on the book. I think they should make NXT an equal brand and not just developmental.
They have the talent for it in main roster guys that aren't being used as much or are lost in the shuffle. I'm talking about sending guys like Ziggler, AJ Styles, Nakamura, Ciampa, Gargano, Riddle back to NXT, among others. Maybe throw a big name or 2 in there, Rollins maybe or KO. Imagine having those guys in your main event scene without having to compete with everyone else for time.
Send some women back too, but not just the NXT call ups, throw in some vets for them as well to bolster that division.
I guess my thought process is to get these guys that have all the talent in the world to main event but aren't being used there for whatever reason somewhere where they can shine at the top of the card and put on the bangers they are capable of but don't really mesh with the style of the ME mainstays on RAW and SD. Matches that are more akin to what AEW shoots for, but not so over the top as them.
Obviously you'll still have the developmental talents there. And considering WWE has sent people down before to work with them, having more of those highly skilled guys there to work with them will prob greatly benefit them and their careers.
Also I think if they shifted a few guys over there and treated NXT more seriously that they could in fact compete with and beat AEW Dynamite in ratings as well. They have the guys to do it. It's just a matter of actually letting them.
