NXT has reached new heights under Triple H and Shawn Michaels. The Black and Gold brand has come a long way from being WWE's development Brand. The credit has to go to both legends as they have made sure that NXT is recognized on the world stage.

Now they are reaping the rewards as NXT has officially become the third official brand on the WWE television. And they will now battle both RAW and SmackDown for brand supremacy at Survivor Series.

That said, it is quite obvious that some Superstars from NXT will be drafted to RAW or SmackDown in the near future and the opposite can also happen as stated by Triple H on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast.

There are some Superstars currently on the NXT roster who Vince McMahon would love to have with him, and also Paul Heyman and Bruce Prichard on RAW and SmackDown, respectively.

So, on that note, let's take a look at the three NXT Superstars who are destined to move to RAW or SmackDown in the years to come:


#3 Keith Lee

Vince McMahon has this undeniable love for big men in the wrestling industry and you can't help but think that he is definitely keeping close tabs on NXT's Keith Lee.

The 34-year-old 150 Kg wrestler is a freak of nature as no one would really believe that he hits near-perfect moonsaults on his opponents in almost every match, which he does. His suicide dives are also amazing to watch; yes you heard that right - suicide dives!

He oozes class, charisma and can put on classic matches with almost anyone in the squared circle. These traits of his haven't gone unnoticed and it's just a matter of time before Vince McMahon changes his Brand. Lee, unquestionably, has the look of a future world champion, and if he is booked right, everyone in the WWE Universe will 'Bask in his Glory.' Check out WWE RAW Results page for more.

#2 Velveteen Dream

Another NXT Superstar who trickles charisma with everything he does is Velveteen Dream. He is undoubtedly one of the best characters in the world of wrestling right now. The credit for his rise has to go to Triple H as he has moulded Dream into a definite world-beater.

Everything about him is unique. Dream is wonderful on the mic and in the ring; that music which always runs in the background while Dream is cutting promos is a piece of art. Whoever came up with that idea is an absolute genius, to say the least.

The reason why Dream is a tailor-made RAW or SmackDown Superstar is that he can sell almost anything. Nobody needs to tell you how much Vince loves Superstars who can manipulate the WWE Universe with mere words.

His gimmick is already over with the WWE Universe and if Paul Heyman is given a chance to work with him, no one can say how high Velveteen can go. One thing is for sure, Dream is an obvious talent and he will do great on RAW or SmackDown if he is drafted to any of those brands in the near future.

#1 Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle is surely going to RAW or SmackDown in the near future... and what tells us that? Check Riddle's Twitter feed - he was on a trolling spree on Goldberg after Goldberg's horrendous display at WWE Super ShowDown against The Undertaker.

The 'Original Bro' has been teasing about his future match with Goldberg, so much so that he has started using the Jackhammer very frequently.

Now, Goldberg isn't going to be wrestling at any NXT Takeover and that means Riddle - somewhere down the line - will make his debut on either RAW or SmackDown and face Goldberg. It might be a kind of ' passing of the torch ' match. He even teased attacking Brock Lesnar on Twitter after NXT invaded SmackDown last week.

Riddle is undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers in the world and his barefooted style makes him very unique. Also, the WWE Universe absolutely adores him and that is the biggest reason why he will be wanted by Vince McMahon.
