5 Signs WWE's NXT Bubble Is About To Burst

5. The Main Stars Of NXT Will All Graduate

First and most obviously, the roster is a revolving door, especially at the top of the card. With how popular the brand is and how talented every performer across the roster is, it can be easy to forget sometimes that NXT is a developmental brand. It's the breeding ground, the training camp for the main WWE programming. This means that no matter how popular a wrestler is, eventually they will leave the show. In fact, it means that, ideally, they leave the second they peak. The second they get as popular and successful as they possibly can, they're gone. This is a fact.

It should be a good thing, really. Finding acclaim in NXT should ideally mean you're capable of finding it in WWE. Whether you're actually given that chance is another story *COUGHCOUGHASCENSIONCOUGH* But when you think about NXT's biggest stars, who springs to mind? Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Tyson Kidd, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Hideo Itami and so on.

Out of that small selection alone, Neville is on the main roster full time, with Owens and Balor soon to follow. Kidd and Zayn are on the shelf with injuries, but as soon as they're healthy, you can bet that they wont be going back to NXT.

So the main event scene is left on the shoulders of Hideo Itami. And the better he carries it, the quicker he's gone too. So who's left? Who becomes the next one to lead the next generation?
