#1 WWE has kicked off a major scouting effort, Vince McMahon and other top officials involved

WWE is getting ready to freshen up the product with a potential influx of new faces from NXT.

As reported extensively over the past few weeks, WWE has brought in talent from NXT to RAW and SmackDown to tape dark matches and WWE Main Event bouts. Karrion Kross, Shotzi Blackheart, Scarlett, and Bronson Reed have been spotted backstage at recent main roster shows.

Fightful Select released an update and revealed that the recent developments are part of WWE's latest scouting drive to 'replenish the main roster.' The WWE locker room has suffered from a high number of releases and 'repeated booking patterns,' and the company realizes it's time for a shake-up.

The report stated that many top officials have been coming down to the Performance Center to scout talent. Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis have already made the trip to the WWE PC. Prichard and Johnny Ace witnessed the WWE PC Live events, which are house shows not open to the public.

Vince McMahon is also scheduled to show up at the Performance Center on Thursday to continue the scouting operation.
