WWE NXT will continue to feature top superstars from the main roster and Ronda Rousey will likely be heading to the Gold Brand.
A new report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that there’s been talk of having WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler go to NXT for a title defense, but there’s also talk of sending just Rousey there.
The goal in sending main roster Superstars to NXT is to use these stars to increase the ratings, and this week’s experiment with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defending against Bron Breakker was seen as a huge success.
As noted, Week 1 of NXT Gold Rush special drew 773,000 live viewers on the USA Network, which is up from the 581,000 viewers the show previously drew a week ago.
