• Sami Zayn & More Wrestlers Expected To Move To NXT After WrestleMania 36

As we have noted before, a Draft / Super Shake-Up is scheduled to take place after WrestleMania 36 and it will also include NXT as a third brand.

According to Tom Colohue, main roster wrestlers like Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe are expected to move to NXT (which would also provide a boost to NXT in their ratings war against AEW Dynamite on Wednesday nights):

“With regards to NXT, Sami Zayn is still the favourite name I’m hearing, but there is a lot of discussion about that, so I can say for certain. Sami Zayn is the one I’m hearing the most, as well as potentially someone like [Shinsuke] Nakamura.

There is a level of people they are interested in bringing back to NXT, people who have been there before, people who have a lot to add, the Samoa Joes, that sort of level. Those are the people they want working.”
