#4 More NXT Superstars to be released by WWE

WWE NXT was Triple H's brainchild and The Game has been credited with creating a niche product. However, that is set to change with NXT's upcoming rebranding.

It has been noted that some big changes will be coming to NXT as the focus will move from indie talent to bigger and younger superstars.

As per Dave Meltzer of The Observer, Vince McMahon will have a bigger role to play in NXT along with Triple H. He will be aided by RAW and SmackDown Executive Director Bruce Prichard. He also says that more superstars from NXT could be on the 'chopping block'.

“I’ve heard names on the chopping block and you don’t know until it happens but I’ve definitely heard names. A lot of the guys who have been there for a long time, those are the names that have been talked about,” said Meltzer.

#4 The Miz was not present backstage at WWE RAW

As previously reported, Vince McMahon tore up the script of RAW last-minute and rewrote the entire show. Surprisingly, the two big names in The Miz and Alexa Bliss were not a part of this week's RAW.

While Bliss has stated that she was present backstage at RAW, The Miz was reportedly not present for the RAW taping as per PWInsider (via CSS).

Miz was not backstage at Raw on Monday night, according to Insider. There’s no word on why he missed the show.

Former WWE Champion The Miz is currently involved in a feud with his former best friend John Morrison after he attacked his friend last week on RAW.
