Top NXT Star Believes Main Roster Talents Are ‘Not Needed’ On The Show

WWE

With WWE completely rebranding NXT back in September 2021, the show has been shifted focus into more of a developmental show.

While main roster stars have been appearing on NXT in recent weeks, NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton remains on top despite only competing in her first match in October 2021.

The Champ spoke to TV Insider, where she was asked about the ongoing youth movement in the women’s division on the brand.

She said:

“I think we have a really good women’s division at NXT. I think it’s one of the better ones compared to Raw and SmackDown. At NXT I feel we have such a spotlight for the women. I definitely feel on Raw and SmackDown it’s not as much of the spotlight for the women. We have a lot of young talent. Thea Hail, for instance, is only 19 years old. Roxanne Perez, who is basically 21. Cora Jade, 22. I definitely think there is a lot of future within the NXT women’s division. I can definitely see a lot of the girls taking over within the next three or four years on Raw and SmackDown.”

Tiffany then carried on, discussing the influx of main roster talents that have been appearing on the show, noting that she doesn’t think it’s needed, but does help.

She said:

“I definitely feel like it’s not needed. I feel like NXT should just be for the girls in NXT and the NXT division. But it does help a lot to have someone like Rhea Ripley come down, Dana Brooke, Nattie Neidhart to help the NXT girls and guide them through things and help establish them better. I do think it’s a big help though.
