WWE has hosted a Draft in October once SmackDown moved to the FOX Network for the very first time. It put back the brand barriers between Raw and SmackDown that was so much needed. The younger talents have become relevant from this point onwards as WWE might be moving to host another such Draft.
Another Draft or Super Shake-Up is scheduled to take place after WrestleMania 36, as per the recent updates. The scenario will be pretty unique, this time around as it will also include NXT as a third brand in the mix.

This will be the first time around that a two-way flow will be observed where main roster superstars can move to NXT, as well.
According to Tom Colohue, some of the main roster wrestlers like Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Samoa Joe are expected to move to NXT. This would be done to provide a boost up to NXT ratings as they are having a war against AEW Dynamite on Wednesday nights. Here’s what the source has to offer regarding the situation,
“With regards to NXT, Sami Zayn is still the favorite name I’m hearing, but there is a lot of discussion about that, so I can say for certain. Sami Zayn is the one I’m hearing the most, as well as potentially someone like [Shinsuke] Nakamura.
There is a level of people they are interested in bringing back to NXT, people who have been there before, people who have a lot to add, the Samoa Joes, that sort of level. Those are the people they want working.”

WWE has recently been trying to showcase NXT as the third brand as much as possible in order to grow its popularity.
Without more promotions around the mainstay scene, it won’t be possible for them to beat AEW TNT in terms of ratings. So using the original NXT talents from the past, would be a good idea.

On the other hand, the names mentioned above, have not been utilized well on the main roster in the recent past. The likes of Sami Zayn are doing nothing when it comes to competition.
One of the best wrestlers of the roster has become a manager that is not fair. So with their future NXT stint, their career might see a rebirth in the due course.
