WWE scenario is gradually being charged with the impact of NXT on the audience. The hardcore fans of pro-wrestling think this is the brand that will eventually be saving the day for the company whereas Vince McMahon still thinks Raw and SmackDown is the very best when it comes to the mainstay audience. But there’s no denial that NXT is making its presence felt on the main roster.

For the first time in the history of WrestleMania, there will be a championship match from the black and yellow brand on the main card of the show.
Rhea Ripley will defend her WWE NXT Women’s Championship against 2020 WWE Women’s Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair in a never-before-seen match. Also, Shayna Baszler challenges Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship in another big match.
No matter how these two bouts end at WrestleMania, a long-lasting effect should be there on the main roster once WrestleMania 36 passes by. Plus, a reliable source has provided updates spoiling the post-Mania season plans where NXT will have a lot more to offer.

According to Tom Colohue, NXT is set to play a major part in the post-WrestleMania 36 storylines on both Raw and SmackDown. Additionally, they will be part of the Draft process, as well. The annual “Super ShakeUp” is scheduled after WrestleMania 36 and for the first time ever, NXT will be a part of the process being the third brand alongside RAW and SmackDown.
Check out the detailed report provided by Colohue regarding this,
“The Superstar Shake-up is planned to have NXT Stars involved. This is becoming more clear as to who it might be based on current storylines and current championships.
[NXT Women’s Champion] Rhea Ripley is now getting challenged by Charlotte Flair, a victory for Charlotte surely means a trade of some sort there, a victory of Shayna Baszler challenging Becky Lynch surely means some trade there.
But also when you look at Gargano/Ciampa going one last time, hopefully, one last time, when you look at Undisputed Era losing a lot of their championships recently, only the actual NXT Championship remains. It seems highly likely that Adam Cole will be defending the title against Finn Balor in the coming weeks leading up to WrestleMania at TakeOver: Tampa.

Undisputed Era and Shayna Baszler are the most likely candidates to get the call-up, of course now it’s a call sideways, but there are believed to be a number of changes planned.
When it comes to moves to NXT, it will maintain the NXT spirit that the fans have come to expect, that is a direct quote from a source.”
WWE hosted both Superstar Shakeup (in April) and Draft (in October) in 2019 to make time to time changes on the roster. The Draft was greatly promoted following SmackDown’s move to Fox Network as WWE wanted to bring an NFL kind of feel to the entire process. It’ll be interesting to see whether they bring newer things, the next time around.
