#4 New era, new stars: Enter NXT

With the whole “New Era” thing that WWE is trying to push, and with both main roster shows apparently gearing up for a renewed focus, now is the time for WWE to earnestly call up some NXT prospects to round out the rosters. The guard has already been subtly changing over the past few years.

Shows that used to be carried by John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio are being carried by Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, just to name a few.

NXT has not only become WWE’s own way of embracing the indy circuit, it has also allowed the company to dramatically shift its focus as it pertains to the type of talent hired.

Several years ago, the WWE was all about hiring football players, body builders, models and other types of athletes and giving them a crash course in “Sports-Entertainment” and hoping for the best.

The wild rise of NXT has changed the company’s attitude, leading to WWE picking up such wrestling diamonds as Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, Hideo Itami and Finn Balor. For this to succeed, it’s time for WWE to commit to the future and allow the stars of tomorrow to lead the charge into this “New Era”.
