WWE Rumor Roundup: Request made by Champion to lose title, Top Superstars to be sent back to NXT - 27th December 2019

#8 Three RAW Superstars getting pushed

As revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Drew McIntyre, Aleister Black and Erick Rowan are getting pushed on TV.

It was added that Vince McMahon is heavily behind Erick Rowan's recent push.

Drew McIntyre has always been groomed to be a future top star, however, his main roster run has been inconsistent thus far. That is, however, expected to change in 2020.

Aleister Black, as we all know, is a Paul Heyman guy backstage and the company wants him to be a top face going forward.

Regarding Erick Rowan, the former Wyatt Family member is currently in the midst of a mystery angle in which he comes out with a cage that is covered with a cloth. He has been squashing enhancement talents on RAW for the past few weeks and the storyline should progress as we head closer to thr Royal Rumble.

#7 More main roster Superstars could be sent back to NXT

On the 2019 recap edition of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions with Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz, WWE insider Tom Colohue also spoke about the possibility of many more main roster Superstars making the trip to NXT in the future.

NXT wants to reach out to the casual viewers and getting a few established main roster talents from RAW and SmackDown would achieve that purpose.

Tom said that he certainly doesn't see someone like Roman Reigns going back to NXT, however, he gave the examples of Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura as the talents that fit the criteria.

Colohue stated:

“When it comes to who we’re going to get [moving to NXT], I definitely don’t see a Roman Reigns figure going. It’s been said to me that changes will be keeping in the spirit of NXT. I think it’ll be that underground feeling. I think we’re looking more at, for example, a Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn would be a perfect figure to come back to NXT for a year or so. Nakamura – perfect example of someone who could come back to NXT for a little while.” H/t Credit: Danny Hart of Sportskeeda
