5 main roster WWE Superstars that should have a run in NXT
WWE NXT 2.0 has produced an impressive crop of new stars in the few months since its launch. Through the developmental brand, a new generation of superstars has been introduced to the WWE Universe, led by the likes of Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes and Cora Jade.
EXCLUSIVE: @HEELZiggler & @RealRobertRoode had quite the encounter with @LAKnightWWE and we have the footage for you right now!

While NXT stars typically ascend to the main roster in due time, there have been occasions when the reverse has occurred. Whether for a one-off appearance, short feud or long-term run, the likes of Finn Balor, Edge and Mandy Rose have made the trip to the Capitol Wrestling Center.
A few superstars on RAW and Smackdown currently lack direction on the Road to WrestleMania 38. These competitors could benefit from the change of pace offered by a visit to the rainbow brand. On the developmental side, many superstars in NXT have a lot to gain from working programs with these stars.
But the ultimate winners would be the fans witnessing fresh, exciting feuds building up to TakeOver: Stand and Deliver in the midst of WrestleMania season. With that in mind, let's take a look at five main roster superstars who should have a run in developmental brand.
#5: Dolph Ziggler has traded words with top NXT stars
Says he doesn’t work on Tuesdays ... apparently he can’t work on Saturday either @HEELZiggler https://t.co/Z0DfH7K2jf
Dolph Ziggler has interacted with a couple of NXT stars lately. First he had a run-in with LA Knight in a backstage interview before being called out on social media by NXT Champion Bron Breakker. The Showoff currently seems to have no WrestleMania plans, so it feels like a perfect time for him to head to the CWC and tangle with some of the young talent there.
Ziiggler being a two-time world champion and one of the most experienced WWE Superstars, he would easily be able to keep up with the fast-paced style on the brand. He would also be able to introduce a new superstar to his fans similar to what AJ Styles did with Grayson Waller.
Should Dolph's stint with the developmental brand be well received, he could have an extended stay a la Finn Balor, and could even capture his first ever NXT Championship. If he made the trip with tag team partner Robert Roode, there is no shortage of talented teams for them to have epic battles with.
