#5 Two more top NXT Superstars moving to the main roster
NXT has been known to build future main-eventers for the main roster brands of WWE - Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live . Many current top Superstars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, etc are all NXT Alumni.
While we have seen NXT Superstars debut on the main roster on the week after WrestleMania, this year things have been different. We previously saw NXT Superstars like Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler quietly move up to RAW after WrestleMania 36, and recently it was announced that Matt Riddle will be joining SmackDown. Other than them, Chelsea Green and Dominick Dijakovic are also on their way to the main roster.
Now as per the latest rumors, two more top NXT Superstars could soon be leaving the brand to join either RAW or SmackDown - the Velveteen Dream and Io Shirai. Both these Superstars will be challenging for the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship respectively at NXT TakeOver: In Your House this Sunday. If the reports of them moving up are indeed true, it would mean that they won't be walking out with the titles around their waists.
The Velveteen Dream will take on Adam Cole for the NXT Championship in a Backlot Brawl, with the added stipulation that if Cole wins, Dream won't be able to challenge for the NXT title again until Cole remains the champion. Io Shirai, on the other hand, will compete in a triple-threat for the NXT Women's Championship against Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair.
