The Street Profits lost the NXT Tag Team Championship to The Undisputed Era recently, with many fans predicting that it was done so that they could move over to the main roster, but Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter disputes that theory:

"Since people have asked about this and some fans assumed this, The Street Profits losing the NXT tag titles to Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly had nothing to do with the Street Profits being on Raw. They are remaining as NXT wrestlers even though they will continue with non-wrestling segments on Raw."

The Street Profits have been in backstage segments on RAW, but haven't had a match on the main roster yet.


#4 Future of WWE live shows

WWE are reportedly making a few tweaks and changes to their live shows. We recently learned about several live shows being cancelled due to mostly the Wild Card rule, as well as poor interest from fans.

WWE will apparently continue hosting supershows, which includes Superstars from both brands, while also having two separate shows over the weekend. WWE believe that SmackDown's live shows will grow once they move over to FOX.
