5 WWE Superstars who could follow Mandy Rose back to NXT 

Mandy Rose made a surprise appearance on last night's episode of NXT, which has now seemingly opened the door for more WWE main roster talents to head in the same direction.

WrestleVotes later reported that Rose had been drafted to NXT and Aliyah was heading in the opposite direction. It appears that even though there has been speculation that the WWE Draft isn't set to take place until October, drafts could now take place until then, allowing several stars to move from brand to brand in the coming weeks.

This news also opens the door for drafts from the main roster to NXT, which is something that the company hasn't done before.

Many WWE Superstars including Finn Balor, Tyler Breeze, and even Ember Moon have all found a new lease on life since their return to NXT, and here are five current main roster stars who could be next.

#5. Current WWE Superstar Dana Brooke could follow her tag team partner to NXT

Mandy Rose was in the middle of a main roster storyline alongside her tag team partner Dana Brooke when she was surprisingly drafted to NXT last night.

This week on RAW, it appeared as though Natalya and Tamina were set to hand Rose and Brooke a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships before The Golden Goddess was surprisingly moved to the black and yellow brand.

The move leaves Dana Brooke without a storyline on RAW since she hasn't qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match and has been wrestling in Tag Team matches alongside Rose for almost a year.

Dana Brooke started her WWE career in NXT and was even once aligned with Emma whilst she was there. Rose has already made it clear that she's looking for an alliance with The Robert Stone Brand but nothing is stopping Dana Brooke from also heading to NXT in the near future.

Brooke could make a fresh start like several other main roster talents before her and then return to the main roster in a few month's time as a singles star prepared to make her mark just in time for the Women's Royal Rumble match.

#4. Current WWE Superstar Keith Lee could make his return to NXT

Keith Lee was promoted to WWE's main roster last year following SummerSlam but has recently seemingly fallen out of favor with the company's creative team.

Lee's last appearance on RAW came ahead of Elimination Chamber in February where he was scheduled to be part in the United States Championship match alongside Riddle and Bobby Lashley.

Lee was pulled from the match at the last minute and was later replaced by John Morrison. Rumors in recent months have stated that WWE had big plans for Lee, but the former NXT Champion has failed to appear on TV in almost five months.

Lee came through the ranks in NXT before he was promoted to the main roster last year and is aware of how the system works. Since The Limitless star isn't being used on the main roster it could be beneficial for him to return to NXT for a while.

#3. Current WWE SmackDown Superstar Mia Yim could be moved back to NXT

Mia Yim was promoted to WWE's main roster last year as part of RETRIBUTION, under the name Reckoning, and Yim made several appearances on RAW before the group disbanded at Fastlane.

Since the split, Mustafa Ali is the only member of the group who has made regular appearances on TV, with Slapjack reportedly being drafted to SmackDown alongside Yim. Mace and T-Bar have made a handful of appearances on RAW, but most recently have been part of Main Event.

Yim hasn't appeared on RAW or SmackDown since Fastlane and even though there were recent reports that Mia Yim had been given her name back, there is no update on her return to WWE TV.

Much like her fiance Keith Lee, Yim could benefit from heading back to NXT and being promoted to the main roster again in a few months' time. Yim deserves a decent run on WWE's main roster, but it doesn't appear as though this is going to come off the back of her Reckoning character.

#2. Current WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin could be moved to NXT

Shelton Benjamin was part of The Hurt Business on Monday Night RAW up until a few weeks ago when he was ejected from the group by WWE Champion Bobby Lashley alongside Cedric Alexander.

Shelton and Cedric Alexander have since had a brief feud on RAW, but most recently Benjamin has been demoted to appearances on Main Event. The former Tag Team Champion is a veteran and deserves the chance to boost his career, something that NXT could offer him.

Benjamin is one of very few current WWE Superstars who hasn't been part of NXT, but given that he's nearing the end of his career, it could be time for the star to give back. After being around the business for several decades, Benjamin could be an asset to the NXT roster when it comes to developing the next generation.

If WWE isn't set to use Benjamin on RAW in the near future, then a move to NXT would definitely be beneficial.

#1. Current WWE Superstar Angel Garza could be moved back to NXT

Angel Garza started his WWE career in NXT and it could be argued that this was where the star did some of his best work.

After more than a year on the main roster, it appears as though WWE has run out of ideas for Garza, who has been part of several throwaway appearances in recent months.

Garza appeared to be aligning himself with former Women's Champion Nia Jax at one point and even came out to help The Miz on an episode of RAW but nothing came of either of these appearances.

The former NXT Cruiserweight Champion hasn't been given the chance to show what he can do yet on the main roster, but a stint back in NXT could help him remind the WWE Universe what he is capable of.

Garza is an asset to any locker room, but at present, it appears that the creative team doesn't have anything for him, and sitting in catering isn't going to help push forward his wrestling career.
