#2 The roster is stacked with former NXT Champions

New backbone.

Along with much fewer established names, RAW has gained a litany of former champions from NXT. They are scattered across divisions, which is always a great thing. Asuka and Kairi Sane have held the NXT Women's title in varying circumstances, while the Red brand's tag team roster is anchored by three former title-winning tandems in the form of the Viking Raiders, Street Profits, and AOP.

But it is the men's division that has the most potential to benefit from the top Superstars in Full Sail history. Ricochet is a former North American Champion, while there are six former NXT Champions on the RAW roster.

One of them is the current world champion, another one has won it before and the rest are hungry for success. Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion and the lead guy on RAW, with a number of names looking to usurp him and take his title.

They involve the main core of the Red brand's upper mid-card scene. Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre, Aleister Black, and Andrade are all one good storyline away from becoming bonafide main event Superstars. Now is the time for WWE to take advantage of the impressive laundry list of talent that NXT has groomed.
