#3. Hope is true: WWE speaking with main roster stars over an NXT move

NXT officially announced the move to the USA Network this past week, revealing that going forward, it will air on Wednesday Nights and will be a 2-hour live show. This is obviously a drastic change for the brand, who have been thriving with the one-hour pre-taped show format.

However, change is inevitable and in order to stack up a two-hour show, WWE knows that they need to add some star power. This is where the "reverse call-up" idea works. As we have seen, Tyler Breeze and Fandango are two superstars who have officially transitioned back into NXT.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Triple H and WWE have been speaking to many superstars over potential NXT appearances down the line. It'll be interesting to see who they send back. Hopefully superstars like Apollo Crews who need a big change in scenery in order to thrive again and reach their potential.
