Rumours have surfaced online recently that the WWE are planning another Superstar Shakeup in the coming months, except this time, there will be a twist. Not only will stars be moving from Raw to Smackdown and vice versa, but wrestlers from NXT will also be able to move and main roster stars will also be given the opportunity to go the other way.

While some may say that being sent to NXT is a backwards step for anyone currently on the main roster, but if NXT has shown us anything over the last year- it’s that it can revitalise someone’s career and give them a chance to develop away from the spotlight.

Right now there are several main roster superstars who could benefit from a move to NXT, whether it be to refine their character and in-ring style, or whether it’s because they have achieved everything they can in the WWE and NXT could provide them with the chance to give newer stars a rub. Here’s a look at six superstars who could benefit from a move to NXT in the coming months.

6) Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews arrived on the WWE main roster last year and looked set for big things. Unfortunately, his character has failed to gain any momentum in the last 12 months and he has spent the last few months working as a sidekick for Titus O Neil.

While this may be the most interesting thing he has done, it is still not what people were expecting from him following his excellent performances in NXT. Sending Crews back would give the company the chance to change his character up and figure out a way to get him to reconnect with an audience that is becoming increasingly apathetic towards him.

]]> The Taz Show Recap – RAW Analysis, Angle & Jordan Storyline Feels Strange, Tweaking Cass As A Heel, More! /the-taz-show-recap-raw-analysis-angle-jordan-storyline-feels-strange-tweaking-cass-as-a-heel-more/ Wed, 26 Jul 2017 05:31:16 +0000 /the-taz-show-recap-raw-analysis-angle-jordan-storyline-feels-strange-tweaking-cass-as-a-heel-more/ Block 1:

Taz opens today’s show speaking about last night’s episode of RAW.

Taz thinks the progression of this Kurt Angle/Jason Jordan storyline is getting a little strange. The storyline as a whole doesn’t bother him, but he way Angle and Jordan are performing is really weird right now. Taz thinks there’s another part of this story that hasn’t been revealed yet, and a part of him thought Jordan was actually going to turn heel during his debut RAW match last night.

Taz also thinks that WWE should change up Jordan’s ring gear. He doesn’t think Jordan should be using the red, white and blue colours for his entrance or for his ring gear. Instead, he should use gold as his primary colour, so there’ll still be a connection to Angle while he establishes his own brand as well.

A listener calls into the show and asks Taz how he’d fantasy book a Shield reunion. Taz says he wouldn’t book a Shield reunion at all, and he wishes WWE would stop teasing it. He wouldn’t have even had Ambrose and Rollins team up last night, because he doesn’t see a reason to reunite those three men. They’ve all gone out on their own and have become singles stars, so there’s no reason to reunite them right now.

Another listener calls into the show and talks about how good Roman Reigns is at selling, especially for a big man. Taz agrees entirely and says that selling is just another thing that Reigns does not get enough credit for.

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane and Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno).

Gilbertti says that the decline in wrestling’s popularity might be easily explained by one simple variable: The Rock and Steve Austin no longer wrestle. He says that those two guys were legitimate stars, and they alone may have been what popped the ratings so drastically in the late 90’s.

He says that there hasn’t been anybody like either of those guys since, and it hardly matters because all that anyone cares about nowadays is how good the matches are. Characters are no longer the priority in professional wrestling.

Gilbertti comments on Russo’s harsh criticism of Kevin Owens, who was filmed crying after winning the Universal Championship. Gilbertti says that he doesn’t have an issue with babyfaces crying after winning Titles. Shawn Michaels did it, and guys like Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit followed suit years later. However, he doesn’t like the visual of heels crying after they win.
