After Elimination Chamber, one of the biggest surprises we received was the introduction of four top male NXT superstars on the main roster. These four debuting NXT superstars took the main roster by storm and left little doubt that NXT has turned into the third parallel brand for WWE.

Ricochet teamed up with Finn Balor to defeat Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush, Johnny Gargano, and Tommaso Ciampa defeated Raw Tag Team Champions The Revival, while Aleister Black made Elias fade to Black on Raw to clean sweep the results on the show.

Top name doesn't want to enter the WWE Hall of Fame. More details HERE.

The next night, the four men appeared on SmackDown Live and took the blue brand by storm too. Ricochet defeated the forgotten Eric Young, while Ciampa and Gargano once again emerged victorious by defeating former tag team champions The Bar. To round up the results, Black defeated Andrade in an epic match to completely take over the main roster!

The emergence of the NXT superstars and their victories definitely took the WWE Universe by surprise and the move was a welcome one.
