After this past Friday’s edition of SmackDown delivered the
best outing for the blue brand in what feels like forever – largely down to the
NXT ‘invasion’ – now comes news on which NXT stars are being lined up to invade
tonight’s Raw.
According to PWInsider,
the NXT names currently backstage at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum are NXT
Champion Adam Cole (Bay! Bay!), NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong,
Matt Riddle, and Damian Priest.
Whether more NXT names appear on the red brand tonight, we’ll
have to wait and see. Either way, WWE is looking to continue to push the
prospect of Raw vs. SmackDown vs. NXT for this month’s Survivor Series PPV.

At present, no matches have been officially set for Survivor
Series. Going on how recent Survivor Series shows have matched-up though, we
could well get a card that looks a little like this:
Brock Lesnar vs. ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt vs. Adam Cole

AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong
The Viking Raiders vs. The Revival vs. The Street Profits

Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler
All four of those matches are enough to make Survivor Series
a rare must-watch WWE PPV, and that’s without considering NXT names such as
Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Io Shirai, Matt Riddle, Keith Lee, and Pete
Dunne, and main roster stalwarts such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte
Flair, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and Kevin Owens.
WWE Survivor Series takes pace on November 24th from
Rosemont, Illinois’ Allstate Arena.
