WWE Brand Split: 8 Things They Must Get Right

7. More Indie Recruits For NXT

As a knock-on effect from the previous point, more NXT call-ups will therefore be made to flesh out the main roster. This will leave WWE's developmental territory far smaller, necessitating the arrival of new names with greater frequency.

Excitingly, this could mean that more of our favourite wrestlers from elsewhere could find themselves on the WWE pyramid. Just think of the buzz when names such as AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries landed in NXT this year, and imagine it on a more regular basis.

On the other hand, this could be bad news for various independent promotions. If WWE intensify their recruitment policy, companies such as NJPW, ROH and Lucha Underground could find their stars poached to a far more damaging degree.
