Fantasy Booking: NXT vs RAW vs SmackDown Match Card

WWE is arguably the most popular wrestling promotion in the world. It's two main roster brands RAW and SmackDown are in themselves historic shows with both of them running for more than 1000 episodes each.

But apart from these two, WWE also has another brand, sometimes referred to as the developmental brand, NXT. Led and run by Triple H, NXT has quickly won over the hearts of fans and critics around the globe with its exceptional wrestling quality and engaging storylines.

There is no shortage of talent in NXT, even after NXT talents continuously leave the brand and move up to the main roster every year. A number of NXT graduates like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Finn Balor, Charlotte, Becky Lynch and many more are leading WWE's main roster and helping establish the company as the top dog in the business.

In my opinion, calling NXT the developmental brand is unfair to those wrestlers as they are at par (usually even better) than their main roster counterparts.

If NXT were to become the official 3rd Brand of WWE along with RAW and SmackDown, I certainly would be very interested to see the superstars of the three brand clash against each other, much like how RAW and SmackDown Live clash at Survivor Series. Only this time, the matches would be all 3-way fights.

In this article, let's take a look at my fantasy match card booking for a PPV that will be an NXT vs RAW vs SmackDown clash. Please note, some of the wrestlers booked in this article are not in those brands currently (for example Finn Balor and AJ Styles).

Feel free to share your thoughts on this match card and sound off your excitement in the comments section below.

#7 War Raiders (NXT Tag Team Champions) vs The Revival (RAW Tag Team Champions) vs The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Champions) - 3 Way Tornado Tag

One thing that the WWE main roster (especially RAW) is usually accused of is its Tag Team Scene. Not many teams are booked properly, also the match quality is not top notch.

While on NXT, the situation is the opposite. NXT possesses a top quality Tag Team roster who are booked nicely and deliver amazing matches on a regular basis.

A 3-way match between the top teams of these 3 brands, namely War Raiders, The Revival, and The Usos is just what a Tag Team Wrestling lover wants. Tag Team wrestling at its best!

#6 Traditional Survivor Series 5 vs 5 vs 5 Elimination Match: Shayna Baszler, Bianca Belair, Kairi Sane, Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai (NXT) vs Sasha Banks, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Ember Moon (RAW) vs Charlotte, Mandy Rose, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Carmella (SmackDown)

As discussed in the opening slide of this article, if such a PPV happens it would be like the annual Survivor Series PPV, and might even replace it.

Hence, a traditional Survivor Series 5 on 5 Elimination Match for the Women of these brands would be amazing. Only this time, it would not be 5 on 5, but 5 on 5 on 5, making it a triple threat elimination tag match.

With the Women's revolution continuously picking up, this match would be a great way for WWE to showcase its entire Women Roster and the magic that they can create in the ring. This would surely be a fast-paced high-action high-drama match.

The respective team captains would be Shayna Baszler (NXT), The Boss, Sasha Banks (RAW) and The Queen, Charlotte (SmackDown).

#5 Velveteen Dream (North American Champion) vs Samoa Joe (United States Champion) vs Kevin Owens (Intercontinental Champion)

Coming to the mid-card title scene, NXT introduced the North American Championship last year. SmackDown and RAW already have the United States and the Intercontinental Championships on their brand.

A triple threat match between the three mid-card champions of all these brands would interest the fans in the mid-card scene of each brand as well.

For NXT, Velveteen Dream would represent the brand in this match as the North American Champion. From SmackDown, the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe, and from RAW, the Prizefighter Kevin Owens would enter the ring.

A very interesting fact to note here is how both Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens were also in NXT a few years ago. This shows the amount of impact NXT has on WWE programming and is another reason why NXT has what it takes to be the 3rd Official Brand.

#4 Traditional Survivor Series 5 vs 5 vs 5 Elimination Match: Ricochet, Aleister Black, Tomasso Ciampa, Roderick Strong, Pete Dunne (NXT) vs Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, Braun Strowman, Elias, Baron Corbin (RAW) vs Randy Orton, The Miz, Shinsuke Nakamura, Mustafa Ali, Andrade (SmackDown)

The second traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match for the night would be between the male superstars of all the three brands.

Once again, this would be a 5 on 5 on 5 elimination tag match to determine brand supremacy. For NXT, Ricochet would lead the yellow brand in the match. For RAW, the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre would be the captain. While for SmackDown, the Viper Randy Orton would call the shots.

If you see all the participants in the match, you'll know for sure the amazing high-flying plus power-hitting wrestling everyone will witness. This match should be given proper time so that all the superstars can be given some time to showcase their skills.

#3 The Undisputed Era (NXT) vs The Shield (RAW) vs The New Day (SmackDown) - 9 Man Tornado Tag No DQ Match

The Battle of the top Factions of each brand

Factions are a huge part of the pro wrestling industry. Factions like D-Generation X, nWo, Evolution, Bullet Club and many more have played a major part in increasing the popularity of wrestling.

A clash between NXT, RAW and SmackDown should definitely have a match between the top factions on their respective rosters.

While NXT has The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish) as its top faction, RAW and SmackDown have The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose) and The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) respectively in their arsenal.

A clash between these three top factions currently in the world of pro wrestling is surely a dream match. To add to the intensity of the match, adding a stipulation like No Disqualification would definitely make this a gruesome encounter and one for the ages.

#2 Toni Storm (NXT Women's Champion) vs Becky Lynch (RAW Women's Champion) vs Asuka (SmackDown Women's Champion)

WWE has a lot of the top women's wrestler in the world under contract with it. There was a time when women wrestling in WWE was not given much importance. The women were called divas and their championship was also called the Divas Championship.

But now times have changed. The revolution that women's wrestling has seen in the past few years is remarkable. From headlining PPVs to having various gimmick matches to most probably headlining this year's WrestleMania, the women wrestlers in WWE have shown why they should not be considered inferior.

To further revolutionize women's wrestling, these three women from different brands could go against each other in a classic. From NXT, Toni Storm would enter the match as the NXT Women's Champion. From RAW, The Man Becky Lynch would step in as the RAW Women's Champion. And from the blue brand, The Princess of Tomorrow and the SmackDown Women's Champion, Asuka would try to prove that no one is ready for Asuka.

This match has the potential to make every fan realize that women's wrestling is awesome.

#1 Johnny Gargano (NXT Champion) vs AJ Styles (Universal Champion) vs Finn Balor (WWE Champion) - Triple Threat TLC Match

Ladies and Gentleman, it's time for The Main Event of the evening!

The top champions on each brand will battle each other out in a spine-chilling TLC triple-threat match to determine the brand supremacy.

For the yellow brand, Mr. Wrestling Johnny Gargano will enter the match as the NXT Champion. From RAW, the Phenomenal AJ Styles would step in as the Universal Champion to prove that he's the best in the world. And from SmackDown, Finn Balor (or maybe The Demon King) would represent the blue brand as the WWE Champion.

A triple threat between these three wrestlers, considered as one of the top wrestlers in the world, would make up for a thrilling and electrifying main-event, not to forget a possible match-of-the-year contender.

Who do you think would reign supreme if these three brands clash against each other? Feel free to comment your predictions in the comment section below.
