As we noted prior in the rules for the upcoming WWE Draft 2016, 6 NXT superstars will be chosen for the upcoming brand split/ WWE Draft 2016. This had led to a lot of speculation regarding which stars will be called up to the main roster. It is believed that Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor and Bayley will be 3 of the 6 making the jump as they are probably the 3 top stars right now (other than Samoa Joe who is the current NXT Champion and will likely stay for now). All 3 took to Twitter to tease them getting selected on Tuesday.
Finn Balor with another tease that he is becoming famous for:
….Did someone leave a window open… Because I can feel a draft #WWEDraft pic.twitter.com/TBXuJ6JHCg

Nakamura asked fans if the WWE is ready for him:
6 NXT draft picks? Is the WWE ready for The King of Strong Style?

Bayley teases that NXT is about to Takeover the WWE (in an obvious reference to their NXT Takeover events):
6 draft picks? #NXTTakeOver on RAW and Smackdown. The future is now. https://t.co/GxReyBQJll

I personally believe that all 3 will be drafted on Tuesday. They are all too talented to stay in NXT, especially when the WWE needs stars to fill out both RAW and SMACKDOWN brands. Balor and Bayley have been teased as call ups for what feels like the past 6 months. If they don’t go here I am convinced they never will. Nakamura has the title match against Samoa Joe at NXT Takeover Back to Brooklyn but he could easily work both shows.
