5 WWE main roster stars who can move to NXT

WWE is undergoing some major changes in the last few months that have affected RAW, SmackDown, and even NXT. However, it seems like more alterations can occur for each brand in the future.

Fans recently witnessed major changes in WWE's three brands, mainly regarding their networks. Last night, NXT made its debut on the CW Network after being on the USA Network for almost five years. Before them, SmackDown moved from FOX to the USA Network.

While RAW remains on the USA Network, the Monday show will go back to being a two-hour show starting next week until the end of the year before it moves to Netflix. However, the changes between the three shows can expand if the company decides to mix up the roster.

For this list, we will look at five WWE main roster stars who can move to NXT.

#5. Omos hasn't been utilized in WWE's main roster

One superstar fans haven't seen for a long time is Omos, his last appearance taking place on SmackDown's April 5, 2024, during the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. With how stacked the RAW and SmackDown rosters are, the company may find it hard to find someone he can feud with and get lost in the mix especially with his former manager MVP now gone. However, he may find himself a spot in NXT.

The Nigerian Giant can be involved in some interesting storylines in the Tuesday show, maybe a NXT North American Championship angle against Oba Femi or an up-and-coming star in Je'Von Evans.

#4. Natalya has already familiarized herself with NXT's talent

One main roster star that has visited the Tuesday night show in the past was Natalya, feuding with stars like Cora Jade, Roxanne Perez, Lola Vice, and more. However, The Queen of Harts has other interactions with them as she also runs The Hart Family Dungeon with TJ Wilson, training several superstars with some even coming from NXT.

Natalya has already faced the majority of the female stars in both RAW and SmackDown, and she already has several accomplishments of her own. If she transfers to the developmental brand, she can give the younger stars a platform to showcase their talents, provide teachings to them, and be involved in more unique storylines and feuds.

#3. Maxxine Dupri can explore her in-ring side in NXT

Maxxine Dupri's character on WWE RAW was boosted due to her alliance with Alpha Academy and their eventual feud with Chad Gable's American Made. While she has been a great manager, there is still more room for improvement as an in-ring star.

Maxxine can transfer to NXT as "Alpha Academy's representative" and be more involved in her own feuds and fellow female stars. In this way, she can have a new environment to find and cultivate her character and create her own stories with other superstars.

#2. and #1. Authors of Pain's Akam and Rezar may benefit from being away from Karrion Kross for a while

Many fans were excited when The Final Testament was introduced on SmackDown earlier this year, but the group had a slow rise on the roster, even when they were drafted to RAW. Recently, only Karrion Kross has found success after "infecting" The Miz and possibly Xavier Woods. Due to this, Akam and Rezar may be more successful in NXT.

Authors of Pain have previously found success in the brand, formerly holding the Tag Team Championship. WWE NXT is building its tag team division but already has prominent ones like The D'Angelo Family, Chase University, Fraxiom, and The Gallus. It will be interesting what a possible feud between the groups will look like against Akam and Rezar.
