5 SmackDown Live Superstars who could move to NXT

#2 Lana

Lana faced Naomi in a title match at Money In The Bank

The amount of criticism that Lana has received as an in-ring performer in 2017 is a little undeserving. Her matches with Naomi for the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship weren’t terrible and she hasn’t exactly embarrassed herself in any match she’s had so far on the main roster.

Saying that, does anybody see her as someone who will be anywhere near the top of either the Raw or SmackDown Live women’s divisions anytime soon? Absolutely not, so that’s why she could benefit from a return to NXT.

Granted, she’s featured on plenty of NXT live events in the past, but it’s on television where the wider audience needs to see what she can actually do as a performer, or else she will forever be labelled as a manager who is wrestling rather than a wrestler who was once a manager.

“The Ravishing Russian” would be much better served to have 10-minute televised matches on NXT instead of losing in 2-3 minutes to the likes of Naomi and Charlotte Flair on the main roster.
