Summerslam 2023 is going to be the biggest event of the summer and WWE’s three active brands, Raw, SmackDown, and NXT could be part of the show, at a time in a first-time occurrence. In recent times, there have been multiple trades between these brands which led to many main roster stars appearing on NXT programming. This trend should continue throughout the summer of 2023.
WWE creative has no intention of stopping that trend as they rather want to bring more stars from NXT to get involved in Summerslam 2023. On a rare occasion, Seth Rollins was announced to defend his World Heavyweight Championship at NXT during the 2023 Gold Rush. The vice versa process could also be seen when some of the NXT stars or top matches from the division could settle their score at summer’s mega event.
