#2. Hope is true: WWE planning 'major' NXT involvement for WrestleMania 37?

Just like 2020, WrestleMania this year will be a two-night event. While it was odd to watch a show as big as WrestleMania happen behind closed doors, it was a unique one.

The two-night event allowed WWE to space out the matches, and we had two short and enjoyable nights rather than one long one that lasted upwards of six hours.

One of the history-making moments at WrestleMania 36 saw an NXT Championship defended on The Grandest Stage of Them All for the first time. Rhea Ripley defended and lost the NXT Women's title to Royal Rumble (2020) winner Charlotte Flair.

According to WrestleVotes, the two-night WrestleMania means that WWE is in serious talks of having Finn Balor and the NXT Championship on the main card.

We hope this is true because NXT's involvement at WrestleMania helps elevate the brand. Finn Balor, if he is still NXT Champion by WrestleMania, deserves a spot on the card as well. He hasn't performed at WrestleMania since 2019, where he defeated Bobby Lashley. Since then, he moved from the WWE main roster to NXT.
