WWE Planning NXT Stable Reunion On Main Roster?
NXT lore set to endure on WWE Raw following the 2023 Draft.
WWE has put preliminary plans together to reunite the old NXT stable, The Way, on Raw.
This is per WRKD Wrestling, who reported as much on Tuesday:-

The Way's membership included Austin Theory, Candice LeRae, Dexter Lumis, Indi Hartwell, and Johnny Gargano at various stages of its lifespan. All five wrestlers are now on the main roster following the 2023 Draft, though plans to put The Way back together on Raw put Theory's status into question. The reigning United States Champion was moved from Raw to SmackDown as part of WWE's roster reshuffle.
Gargano and LeRae, co-leaders of The Way, were on Raw prior to the brand and stuck with it afterwards, as was the case with Lumis. Hartwell, Lumis' storyline husband, joined the show in the Draft. The NXT Women's Champion announced plans to relinquish her title on last night's developmental show.
Lumis, Gargano, and LeRae have been aligned on Raw since mid-2022. The Way originally came together in December 2020, lasting until the following December, when Johnny announced his NXT departure after being sent to Raw. Lumis joined the group following his "wedding" to Hartwell in September 2021.
