10 New Directions For WWE After Royal Rumble 2024

10. NXT Stars Going Main Roster

Carmelo Hayes, Bron Breakker, Tiffany Stratton, Roxanne Perez - those are all names ready to take the next steps on Raw or SmackDown. Most have achieved all there is to achieve on the developmental NXT brand, so it's time for Shawn Michaels to watch them fly on the main roster. HBK must be proud of what he saw at Royal Rumble.

The final decision on their futures rests with Triple H though. He'll either make Carmelo's trips to SmackDown TVs permanent, or he'll fire him back down to NXT for more seasoning. Surely not. Hayes, similar to Breakker, Stratton and Perez, is ready to move on. The guy has been for a while.

Time to make it happen.

Of course, another alternative is that Trips waits until after WrestleMania to properly introduce these workers to Raw and SmackDown full time. There's a lot to juggle right now, but it must be heartening for WWE to see the positive crowd reactions all four got on Saturday.
