Another WWE Raw Star To Return To NXT

WWE

The September 1 episode of WWE NXT saw Julius & Brutus Creed make their return to the show after a three year stint on Raw.

With the duo failing to truly find their feet on the main roster, this move back to NXT could help turn around their careers, much like the same move already has for Grayson Waller.

With The Creed Brothers and Grayson Waller leaving Raw for NXT, here’s three more members of the red brand who could make the same move.

Ivy Nile

Naturally, with The Creed Brothers heading back to NXT, fans have been wondering whether their long-time stablemate Ivy Nile could potentially follow suit.

Nile, like The Creeds, has barely been present on Raw all year, with most of her matches instead taking place on WWE Main Event.

However, there may be reason to be optimistic about her future, as Fightful have recently reported that big changes could be in Nile’s future creatively.

Whether this means a total repackaging, or simply a move back to NXT remains to be seen, but at least there are reasons to be optimistic about WWE’s usage of the 34-year-old going forward.

LWO (Cruz Del Toro & Joaquin Wilde)

While spending more time in AAA than WWE TV over the past year or so, the LWO’s Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro remain listed as members of the red brand.

With their last WWE Raw match coming all the way back in July 2025 however, it’s certainly not looking likely that we see the pair return to Monday nights anytime soon.

Crossover between NXT and AAA has been fairly common since WWE bought the Mexican promotion, so the company would likely be better off moving Wilde and Del Toro to Tuesday nights on a full-time basis.

The NXT tag team division is also in need of more teams, so Wilde and Del Toro can add their experience to that division, and perhaps even win their first titles in WWE.

Alpha Academy (Akira Tozawa & Otis)

It has now been almost a month since the last interaction between Alpha Academy and The Vision, so seemingly the duo’s chances of dethroning Bron Breakker and Austin Theory as World Tag Team Champions have gone up in smoke.

Unless Otis and Akira Tozawa can aid Oba Femi in his fight against The Vision, it’s difficult to see where they factor into plans on Raw right now.

As mentioned, NXT could perhaps do with another team or two and Otis and Tozawa would make for worthy opponents for reigning tag champions The Vanity Project.

Alternatively, Otis could embark on a long overdue pursuit of his first singles championship in WWE, challenging Jackson Drake for the NXT North American Title.
