WWE is reportedly set to switch things up with its roster. Bryan Alvarez of “Wrestling Observer Radio” brought word that the top professional wrestling company is set to move several notable “NXT” names to the “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night SmackDown” brands, possibly as soon as the next month. A good portion of the planned roster call-ups are said to be “deserving” and long overdue.
While the exact “NXT” names being discussed for a promotion were not revealed, major players such as Trick Williams and Oba Femi have long been rumored to make the jump. Seasoned veterans such as Jordynne Grace and Ricky Saints have also been in the mix for many fans.
