WWE has been booking NXT Superstars to work on recent episodes of WWE Main Event for various reasons. While these wrestlers have yet to be called to the main roster, several are rumored for spots, perhaps as soon as the 2023 WWE Draft.
It has also been reported that WWE officials were "pleased" with the buzz that the NXT talents have gained while working the Main Event tapings, both for themselves and the show in general. According to sources from Fightful Select, the NXT Superstars are being booked for Main Event to be evaluated by central roster officials, add intrigue to the show, and give the wrestlers experience in front of larger non-Florida TV crowds.
This opportunity also allows officials to see how the NXT stars work on main roster TV and evaluate the upcoming talents in working with veterans. It is important to note that the WWE Main Event bookings do not indicate that a main roster call-up is being considered, but good performance can go a long way.
