NXT MAIN ROSTER CALL-UPS

The choices are all deserving, I just can't help but wonder the "why" behind it. Again, deserving, so is that the simple reason? The obvious of reasons would be the significant number of WWE Superstars on the shelf at the moment. Cesaro just returned on RAW. There is still John Cena (close to returning), Seth Rollins, Neville, Randy Orton. The question that arises from this scenario is, what happens when everyone returns? Will we see some future endeavored? Sent back to NXT?

Or, are we seeing the beginning of a main roster expansion to...split up between RAW and Smackdown!? Vince McMahon did give Shane McMahon RAW to run. Obviously, Shane can't "fire" Triple H and Stephanie in this scenario. Well, kind of obvious as this is sports entertainment. The Power Couple isn't going to be up for being "under" Shane on RAW either I would assume. Bringing us once again to a RAW V Smackdown! Not so much "head-to-head" as that only lasts so long, and RAW will most likely always come out on top at the end.
With fan awaiting the other members of The Bullet Club now known as The Balor Club (for obvious public relation reasons) to join Finn Balor. Who must be next in line to leave NXT for the main roster, regardless, that brings even more people into the mix. And there is an endless of former WWE talent who could find themselves back with the company. Carlito's name has been popping up as of late, and if you have seen the direction the (former) Los Matadors are heading, it makes a great entry.
This might not be the case though. During the Monday Night Wars, WWE was in a similar situation and needed new stars, so the roster was slightly beefed up and divided into numerous factions and groups. Nation Of Domination, Los Buricuas, D.O.A., Degeneration X, etc. From there the obvious top picks came in the form of The Rock and Triple H, but at that time it also helped other members (ie Road Dogg was uber over, and if not for demons, been a top guy). Now, I am not saying the there isn't any stars on the WWE roster right now, I just think that they don't really know who to  really get behind. If everyone (or majority) are in factions or groups, then it provides a chance to see who the best of the best. And again, it could help out other stars find/re-find their way to the top (or close).

It could be a slight combination of everything. The main roster is now getting a shot of youth, which it needs for the long haul. But, a large roster means less space both in ring and on camera without groupings or splitting. If they do split the brands, I just hope that now with the WWE Network, that each show will have a special event (PPV for those still paying for that) each month. I do remember RAW tended to get top billing, and the 2 month build ups when a brand would get a solo event weren't always great. Guess we will find out as things progress. Until then, Stay Nerdy!
