What if NXT invades RAW and SmackDown Live?

3. Three way warfare

NXT's updated take on War Games could offer a set up for a three-way battle.

WWE could certainly book a short term program featuring NXT invading and going up against the main roster. However, WWE also has a long history of promoting inter-brand rivalries between Raw and SmackDown. The brand split divide may have wavered this spring in the build to WrestleMania, and with the institution of the Wild Card Rule.

However, WWE has maintained separate titles for each show and it’s safe to guess that when Survivor Series comes around this fall, we’ll see a return to sort of brand warfare that WWE has promoted in recent years.

As such, there is the intriguing possibility of not just the red and blue brands going head to head, but NXT getting in on the action, too. While a three way program doesn’t necessarily lend itself well a traditional Survivor Series style match, the developmental brand may well have an ace up its sleeve.

In 2017, WWE and NXT reintroduced the War Games concept. That style of match would ordinarily (and has most recently) see two teams go head to head, but can accommodate three as well - as per the rules used in 2017. It’s possible we could see Raw vs. SmackDown at Survivor Series, with a three-way War Games showdown the night before at TakeOver.
