3) The Next WWE Roster Shake-Up
According to journalist Tom Colohue, WWE is still planning on doing a shake-up to the rosters after Wrestlemania 36.
Here is what he wrote:
Despite the upheaval in the RAW and SmackDown rosters over the course of this year, with the Wild Card Rule, two drafts and a brand new concept of a managerial license, the standard post-WrestleMania Superstar Shakeup is still being planned.
My Take:
- This seems early after the recent WWE Draft. Still, it is always nice to get fresh feuds and matches on both shows. I am not going to complain about this.
2) NXT’s Involvement In The Next WWE Roster Shake-Up
Colohue also says that NXT will be more involved when the rosters do get shaken up.
Here is what he wrote:
However, this time, all three creative heads are said to be involved in long term planning for switches and trades to their rosters.
In previous years, trades were all decided by Vince McMahon in an increasingly last-minute manner. This year, Paul Heyman, Bruce Prichard and Paul “Triple H” Levesque are all said to be more involved, with sources indicating that NXT is looking to pick up a small number of main roster talent to bolster their appeal to casual viewers and continue to increase their current ratings.
I have been told that all of the NXT management are very clear in only wanting to pick up talent that “maintain the NXT spirit the fans have come to expect.”
My Take:
- If it was up to me, I would move Sami Zayn and Cesaro back to NXT. There are so many great matches on the brand for both guys.
