Looking in terms of WWE's main roster shows, who would you draft between the shows, and who would you like to see called up from NXT?
My list:
Callups
Asuka (SD) - SD's women division has less star power than Raw (with 3 of the 4 Horsewomen) and would benefit most from Asuka joining their ranks. I would see this happening towards the end of the year to allow her to drop the title and give some time to have a few other women fill her place in NXT.
Samoa Joe (RAW) - Samoa Joe is ready to be called up pretty much immediately. I would even bring him in at the Rumble. I would put him on Raw though because SD has Baron Corbin, and I feel they are somewhat similar that they should remain separate.
The Revival (RAW) - They have done pretty much all they can in NXT, and it's time for them to make their main roster debut. I would bring them in soon after Wrestlemania so that I could build them up on the main roster and have them challenge for the titles at SummerSlam. I chose to bring them up to RAW because there is a lack of believable title contenders right now.
Austin Aries (RAW/205 Live) - Currently acting as one of the announcers for the cruiserweights, A double would be the perfect addition to the roster. He has expressed his interest in joining the division, and his charisma would definitely bring more attention to the division.
Shinsuke Nakamura (SD) - Nakamura is a star, and there is no way around it. In terms of in ring ability, Nakamura has been ready for the main roster for years. The only thing I see holding him back is his English. That's why he needs to go to SD where in ring work is more appreciated than the stuff outside the ring. What better way to have him debut than to have him go after the Intercontinental Championship.
Drafts
Sami Zayn (SD) - Let's be honest, Sami Zayn hasn't really been used much since he was sent to RAW. Now that he is being used, he mostly just used to make Braun look strong. There is not likely going to be any payoff for him. The best bet would be for him to move to the blue lands were he will get better opportunities.
Apollo Crews (RAW) - Apollo Crews was called up one year after he reported to the performance center. While it may seem that SD would be the perfect home for a gifted in ring wrestler like him, but I believe that he hasn't been utilized as much as he could. Even though he doesn't meet the 205 weight limit, I would have him in some matches with cruiserweight guys that would really show what he can do in the ring. He should also work on getting more of an identity on team red.
Dean Ambrose (RAW) - Ambrose was pushed to be the face of SD. However (at least for me) he has become pretty boring lately. I think a change of scenery and may even a heel turn (go full fledged insane) would do good for him.
Vaudevillians (RAW) - They really haven't had much to do. I don't think that their gimmick has much steam on the main roster. I'd save give it one more go on a different brand to see if they can get the crowd invested in them. If not, it may be time to go back to NXT to try something else.
The Club (SD) - With the potential when they first debuted, The Club has really been an embarrassment this year (well their booking). I think they need to switch to the other brand to give them a much needed restart and a fresh set of teams to face. However, I would keep them away from Styles, as he is doing fine on his own (more than fine).
Seth Rollins (SD) - If I was going to send Ambrose to RAW, we need a big name for SD in return. That's why I would send Rollins to SD. If WWE would have capitalized on the reaction that Rollins received when he returned to attack Reigns, Rollins could have been a huge face right now. However, they put it off, and now he's not really as over as I would like to see him. I think switching to SD could help Rollins move along a lot better. Imagine a feud between Face Rollins and Heel Styles.
What roster changes would you like to see throughout the year?
