WWE Rumor Roundup - Female Superstar reportedly tests positive for COVID-19, Tag Team removed from TV, Company unhappy with The Street Profits - 19th June 2020 

#1. Many Superstars would reportedly love to work in NXT

WWE's efforts in making NXT look like a brand that is on par with RAW and SmackDown have led to the company sending a handful of main roster stars to the Black and Gold brand.

Tom Colohue revealed that there are many talents from WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown who want to work in NXT. Tom first reported about a shortlist being made of main roster talents who could be sent to NXT back in October 2019.

On the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, Tom delved deeper into the topic of RAW and SmackDown stars possibly going to WWE NXT.

Tom noted the names of Asuka, Cesaro, New Day, Charlotte Flair, Kevin Owens, Ricochet, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Naomi as talents who have expressed their desire it mix it up with NXT Superstars. The decision to put the Women's Tag Team titles on Banks and Bayley and the general direction of their reign has also been made to accommodate their presence in NXT.

Tom explained:

There are actually a lot of names who are interested in doing that. I had reported that there was a shortlist of WWE Stars who wanted to work in NXT. And then shortly afterwards, Kevin Owens appeared at Takeover, and suddenly that's when my report started getting picked up other sites. So people seemed to think I was saying after the fact, 'Ohh, Kevin Owens is staying in NXT', when in reality, before the fact, I had said that WWE stars would be appearing in NXT. That was a wonderful one where people were saying, 'oh you're just guessing', when in reality, Kevin Owens had confirmed my report from months before.

Since then, I've learnt a lot more names. Asuka being one of them. Cesaro. Naomi has confirmed that she tried to go back to NXT. Members of the New Day have mentioned that they would love to work in NXT. Ricochet, Kevin Owens, Charlotte Flair, and, Sasha Banks and Bayley - who I had mentioned a couple of months ago I believe, as people who really wanted to spend more time in NXT and that is why the tag team championships of the women have been set up as they are. So it could be anyone of those.
