What if NXT invades RAW and SmackDown Live?

1. Strange bedfellows

Old rivals may band together as part of an invasion angle.

Whenever WWE has employed an invasion angle before, one consistent feature of them has been the concept of strange bedfellows—unlikely partners working together either for the purposes of, um, invading, or to band together against the interlopers.

This dynamic was very much in play when The Alliance rose up in 2001 and essentially every WWE roster member turned face to relative to The Alliance’s heels, and worked together.

The Nexus angle similarly saw John Cena draw together a team of fellow faces John Morrison and R-Truth, but also heels Edge and Chris Jericho, besides legend Bret Hart to create a unit rooted less in kayfabe ties than a need to work together to survive.

NXT invading could, for example, see Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole putting aside their long standing rivalry to band together against the main roster that might doubt them. On the flip side, enemies like Seth Rollins and AJ Styles may be forced to have each other’s backs to protect against attacks.

Stars coming together in this fashion can feel contrived, but can also be pretty interesting for the resulting oddball tag teams, as well rivalries that might result from intra-team disagreements.
