“Should WWE NXT Stars Be Featured on Main Roster Premium Live Events?”
Rarely do we see WWE NXT superstars make an appearance at main roster Premium Live Events, although there have been exceptions, like Survivor Series 2019 and various Royal Rumble events. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has voiced his preference against seeing “NXT” stars featured on these premier shows.
On his podcast “Hall of Fame,” Booker T explained his stance, emphasizing the importance of giving current NXT wrestlers the opportunity to develop and earn their spot on events like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. He believes that when wrestlers are called up to the main roster, it should be their time to shine and showcase their talents, rather than merging the two rosters.
Booker T also mentioned the Lucha Brothers as a tag team that he feels would be a good fit for the NXT roster, particularly with rumors circulating about their potential move to WWE after their contracts with AEW expire.
In summary, Booker T’s perspective highlights the value of allowing younger stars to earn their way onto the main roster, preserving the distinctiveness of both NXT and the main WWE shows.
