WWE once again reinforces NXT events with main roster superstars

WWE will once again use main roster wrestlers to boost NXT shows. The company already experimented with this strategy a few weeks ago, and after the success of that formula, they will repeat the move in the upcoming live tour of the developmental brand.

Between November 13th and 15th, NXT will hold a series of events in St. Paul (Minnesota), Green Bay (Wisconsin), and Chicago (Illinois). During the last broadcast of NXT on The CW Network, it was confirmed that several prominent names from the main roster will participate in this tour.

Sheamus, Lyra Valkyria, Grayson Waller, Otis, and J.D. McDonagh will be part of this week's live NXT shows.

The presence of these figures aims to increase the appeal of the events and provide the audience with a mix of emerging talent and established superstars. The formula, which WWE has recently applied, has received a positive response from both the audience and the NXT talents themselves, who see the opportunity as a form of direct learning.

WWE is holding these tours in smaller venues than those used for main roster shows. However, on this occasion, they will visit the Resch Center (Green Bay), a venue that can accommodate over 9,000 people for standard shows, which could translate to an audience of 6-8 thousand spectators for a pro-wrestling event.
