5 Things we secretly learned from WrestleMania 36

#3 NXT call-ups will be different this year

Bianca Belair will be important for the RAW Women's division

As discussed previously in the article, NXT Superstar Bianca Belair will be by the side of the Street Profits as she is now expected to be on RAW. Austin Theory, another NXT talent, also found a place for himself on the red brand even if it was a last-minute replacement.

Usually, at WrestleMania and on the shows in the following week, several NXT Superstars jump to the main roster but this year, things will be different.

There have been talks about ‘drafts expiring soon’ in WWE but there has been no clarity. However, the change in WWE’s tradition to call-up stars from the Black and Gold brand seems justified. Firstly, NXT itself has become a third brand that is quickly rising through the ranks and is already delivering a better product as compared to its counterparts.

Secondly, even with Superstars like Finn Balor and Charlotte Flair moving to NXT, RAW and SmackDown have enough talent to sustain without more call-ups. The change in the roster will most likely happen after the Superstar Shake-Up which will see the entire roster being shuffled.
