Over a dozen wrestlers have debuted on WWE’s main roster since WrestleMania. While some of them haven’t exactly captured the imagination (how’s it going, Baron Corbin?), others have seized their opportunity with both hands, and the likes of Enzo & Big Cass and Finn Balor have already become must-see attractions on Monday Night Raw.

Rhyno has returned, Shelton Benjamin is on his way back, and the likes of Randy Orton and Neville have returned from injury. Brand Split aside, WWE’s roster is vastly different today than it was a few months ago, and it’s done wonders to refresh the product in-general.

Seeing the same old faces in the same old spots gets boring after awhile. There’s a constant need to switch things up, cycle wrestlers up and down the card, and add some new blood into the mix. This is exactly what WWE have done throughout the New Era, and with more NXT call-ups due this fall, it’s set to continue.

While there are plenty of stale main roster members who badly need a change (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, etc.), the work WWE have done to revive their talent pool cannot be ignored. Yes, it would’ve been great to see Bayler and Shinsuke Nakamura make their way to Raw and SmackDown by now, but their time will come, and as it stands, WWE’s roster is as diverse and interesting as it has been in a long time.
