• WWE’s New Plan To Increase Ratings For NXT After WrestleMania 36

According to Tom Colohue, WWE officials are planning to have NXT as a part of the Draft / Superstar Shake-Up after WrestleMania 36.

This means that wrestlers from RAW and SmackDown will get drafted to NXT as well.

WWE officials believe this will help in increasing viewership for NXT and beating AEW Dynamite in viewership with a big difference.

Colohue noted that NXT officials are only interested in bringing in the wrestlers from RAW & SmackDown that ‘maintain the NXT spirit the fans have come to expect’.
