More WWE Main Roster Stars To Follow Finn Balor To NXT?
Get ready for more jumps from Raw and SmackDown to NXT.
Finn Balor has broken the internet twice since NXT debuted on USA Network: first by announcing his return to the brand after Adam Cole's title fight with Matt Riddle, then again with last week's game-changing heel turn.
Now, it looks like more WWE main roster Superstars could soon be doing the same.
Speaking on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, NXT head honcho Triple H confirmed that Balor won't be the last wrestler to transition over from NXT, referring to such jumps as "sort of the template of whatever is on the table."
With thanks to Cageside Seats for the transcription, 'The Game' acknowledged that there will always be times when main roster wrestlers finish a programme and need to be benched for a few months. "When we do the switch, it's new again," he said, comparing such moves to the old territorial system, adding that he'll gladly take any wrestlers that Raw and SmackDown's writers don't have anything for.
Encouraging stuff, though it's hard to imagine any NXT switch having the same emotional resonance as Balor's, given Finn's association with the brand and revered status around Full Sail University.
