5 SmackDown Live Superstars who could move to NXT

#3 The Singh Brothers

The Singh Brothers aligned with Jinder Mahal in April 2017

From NXT obscurity to featuring in pay-per-view main events in a matter of months, The Singh Brothers have done a great job on SmackDown Live in 2017 and Jinder Mahal probably wouldn’t have become WWE champion in the first place without his trusty sidekicks.

However, there is going to come a time when Samir and Sunil, who were originally brought in to WWE as members of the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament, will stop playing understudy to Jinder and will forge an in-ring career of their own as a tag team.

In all likelihood, they’re not going to succeed right away on the main roster as a duo. They’ve been thrown around by the likes of Randy Orton and AJ Styles in recent months and no fans are going to see them as a viable threat to the Raw or SmackDown Live tag divisions.

NXT is always in need of new tag teams to feature on television, and it wouldn’t be such a bad thing for Samir and Sunil if they split their time between competing on the development brand while they helped Jinder out on the main roster.
