#2 Balor's NXT situation could encourage more stars to come on board
There are more benefits to moving to the main roster (and I'm going to just call it the "main roster" for now, out of convenience) than just the spotlight and prestige and the money. Well, no, actually, that's pretty much the list. But, those are good reasons! Come on! So, it's not unreasonable that, at least in the past, some WWE talent would have considered having to move "down" to NXT a demotion. Sort of like having to back to playing AAA ball after having a cup of coffee in the Majors.
Sorry, I just realized that was literally too much "Inside Baseball". But, you get what I'm saying here.
However, things have changed. Not only does NXT have way more exposure than ever before, but Finn Balor's contract situation may just entice more main roster folks to contemplate making the switch as well.
According to reports, while Finn Balor is working an NXT schedule, he's still making main roster money. Essentially, he's still working his original contract, but working less and will probably have more fun doing it, too. This could certainly be attractive to other stars, especially ones with families who have already been on the road for years.
I can see this being particularly intriguing to Daniel Bryan, for example, who would probably love to be able to stay closer to his own family, work less, and avoid injuries (protect ya neck, Daniel!)
And hopefully, this NXT run would go better than his last.
I sincerely doubt this would lead to a mass exodus of talent, but if WWE can offer the same deal they gave Finn to other established talent, it can only benefit NXT overall.
