3 exceptional NXT debut options for Raw & SmackDown Live

The entertainment value gained from the professional wrestling industry has exponentially improved in the past few years. In Japan, The Bullet Club become synonymous with NJPW fans. Moreover, in ROH a plethora of talent has filtered through to bigger things, such as WWE, (watch the video below).

Notably, examples are; Kevin Owens, Punishment Martinez, and Adam Cole. Nevertheless, although the big fish in the sea, WWE has seemed to lack in entertainment value compared with the independent scene.

Within WWE each brand affords specific forms of entertainment. Whether interested in cruiserweight performances or general entertainment, WWE offers everything. However, their efforts could have been occasionally lacklustre.

Ultimately WWE should consider making some alterations. However, what would WWE need to change? Let's explore a few feasible options.

#3 Pete Dunne (Raw)

Pete Dunne made an impression on Raw

In past years British wrestling was significant primarily within British borders. Moreover, only a handful of British wrestlers would garner success in America, notably; Davey Boy Smith, Finlay, and Willian Regal. However, within the last few years, British wrestling has boomed.

With names such as; Will Ospreay and Zack Sabre Junior garnering immense success in Japan. Nevertheless, a specific name was significant in the creation of British Strong Style. His name is Pete Dunne.

Dunne debuted for WWE in 2016, participating in the inaugural UK Championship tournament, making an immense impact. Subsequently, Dunne would capture the championship a few months later. Since his victory, Dunne has proven his worth and legitimacy in NXT and NXT UK.

In addition, Dunne has legitimized the UK Championship, defeating multiple opponents, (watch the video below).

At NXT Takeover: WarGames Dunne will participate in a WarGames match. He teams with Ricochet and the War Raiders. Dunne's experience and impressive ring acumen will take him far. However, his tenure with NXT seems to have reached its pinnacle.

Therefore, now is the right time to transition him to Raw. Why the Raw brand? Ultimately, he has participated there before. Moreover, his ring style and character suits the atmosphere Raw portrays.

#2 Aleister Black (Raw)

The former NXT champion has made an impact

Aleister Black performed using the name; Tommy End, before debuting in WWE. He was an excellent attraction for independent wrestling fans. Since debuting on NXT Black's stock value has immensely improved. His presence has bolstered brand storytelling. Therefore, Black has earned the next step to success, joining the Raw brand.

WIth Black joining the Raw brand it affords a plethora of exciting prospects. Firstly, storytelling options are almost endless, for example, Black versus Demon Finn Balor. Secondly, Black's presence brings an element of mystique and aura, similar to when Undertaker performed on Raw. It would be extremely lucrative.

Black's Raw debut could play out in a multitude of ways. However, it would be intense. With Survivor Series and Royal Rumble upcoming, the options are extensive. At present Black and Johhny Gargano are feuding and will meet at NXT Takeover: WarGames (watch the video below). The length of this feud is uncertain.

However, Black's NXT departure is forthcoming. Therefore, what could we expect from Black on Raw? Or will he end up on SmackDown Live?

#1 Undisputed Era (SmackDown Live)

This group has been pivotal

Adam Cole is the leader of arguably the most successful faction in modern professional wrestling. The Undisputed Era consists of; Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, and Roderick Strong. Together they have dominated the NXT brand.

Moreover, they garnered a multitude of achievements. Notably winning; Dusty Rhodes Classic 2018, North American Championship, and two NXT Tag Team championships amongst them.

At NXT Takeover: WarGames Undisputed Era once again will participate in a WarGames match. They face off with; Pete Dunne, Ricochet, and War Raiders (Hanson & Rowe). It will be an entertaining match. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for further success. However, the Era's tenure is coming to an end.

Presently, SmackDown Live is flourishing. Primarily due to performances from New Day, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and other talents. The addition of Cole's group would be pivotal to SmackDown's entertainment value.

On Raw, The Shield was excellent and garnered mass interest. Undisputed Era's presence would be no different. Therefore, this needs to happen soon. Just imagine a standoff between Cole and AJ Styles, two former Bullet Club leaders.
