There were rumblings about the NXT brand possibly being included in this year’s edition of WWE Drafts but ultimately it didn’t turn out to be the case.
Former NXT Champion Kevin Owens recently had an interview with Ryan Droste of ComicBook.com where he talked about the evolution of the show.
Talking about the Drafts, the former Universal Champion explained that since Raw and SmackDown are able to draft superstars from NXT, the Black and Yellow brand should be able to do the same as well:
“They were able to draft people from an NXT, but you never saw a Raw or SmackDown superstar moved in a draft to NXT (in the past). I think we should be able to take from NXT, and NXT should be able to take from Raw and SmackDown, because I think the level of competition is just as… It’s extraordinary over there. I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to do that.”
Continuing on the topic, Kevin Owens discussed the success of NXT Takeover events and more. You can check out his full interview at this link.
