WWE NXT stars to join Raw after Money in the Bank: Which names could be next to commit to the red brand?

WWE

The landscape of WWE Raw could look very different by the time the red brand rolls into Bossier City, Louisiana on Monday, October 12.

Not only could we have new world champions and Money in the Bank winners circling the main event picture, we could also potentially see some new and returning faces show up from NXT.

With WWE Raw bringing up both Jaida Parker and Lola Vice over the past month, who could be next on Adam Pearce’s list?

Here are two WWE NXT stars to join Raw after Money in the Bank:

Saquon Shugars

With the 946 bringing Jaida Parker into the fold on the September 28 episode of Raw, fans have been wondering whether we will see any more new additions to the group between now and Survivor Series on November 28.

That is because many expect 946 and The Bloodline to do battle inside WarGames, and currently 946 would be two men short of a full five man team.

Now, WWE could pull off a WarGames first and stage a mixed gender match, with Parker on team 946 and perhaps Naomi on team Bloodline (if she’s fit to return), but until the former Women’s World Champion shows back up it’s hard to foresee WWE going that route.

Instead they could be once again looking at NXT for some new members, and there are few that have the grit that Saquon Shugars does.

Shugars is now no longer belonging to any faction after DarkState kicked him out back in May, and while he has been doing good work as a babyface, so was Jaida Parker and OTM, and that didn’t stop WWE from calling them up as heels.

While he’s certainly able to carry his weight on the microphone and in the ring, Shugars would also add a new dynamic to 946 as he’s a more agile competitor than Royce Keys, Lucien Price and Bronco Nima, which helps give the group a bit more balance.

Nattie

Now, technically speaking Nattie is still a member of the Raw roster according to WWE’s website, but it’s hard to still consider that true when it’s been seven months since she wrestled on the red brand.

Rather than appearing on Raw, “The Lowkey Legend” has been spending her time in NXT, as well as making appearances in AAA, NWA and GCW.

Her last match in NXT came at Heatwave, when Jaida Parker forced her to submit and thus concluded their program together. With that being a fitting end to her time on the brand, WWE should be looking to bring Nattie back to Raw, where she can begin her chase for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship – a title she has long had her eyes on.

At this stage of her career she should be primarily used to spotlight younger talent, but with only two singles championships to her name in almost two decades in WWE, Nattie is long overdue another title run.
