WWE 5 Burning Questions: Can Braun Strowman Even The Odds?

via WWE.com

1. Will we have more roster crossovers in the future?

Superstars crossing over from Raw to SmackDown and vice-versa isn’t necessarily a good thing. But when a superstar from NXT or 205 Live makes an unannounced appearance, it is always a special moment. This week on SmackDown, the Heart of 205 Live, Mustafa Ali would make an appearance to confront Daniel Bryan.

The commentary team tried to play up the history between them, about how Bryan once inspired Ali to pursue his dreams. We all knew the WWE champion was going to win the match, but it was always good to see someone new make it to the main roster. This was a good surprise to say the least. Normally, we don’t see this much often in the WWE. Rarely, someone from NXT shows up in similar manner. Remember when Nikki Cross confronted Becky Lynch?

It doesn’t always have to be someone from developmental or 205 coming over to the main roster. Main roster stars and former NXT graduates going back to Full Sail is fun too. If you don’t agree, watch the match from this past week’s NXT taping, featuring Ricochet and Prince Pretty Tyler Breeze himself. To quote Bleach Report:

"If anyone wants evidence that going to the main roster and languishing in the undercard does not kill one’s desire to be great, watch this match."

Yes this match was that good. Not only does it generate an instant pop for the superstars, but it also freshens things up and creates intrigue. Can we have more of this inter-roster interaction going forward? At least until the stale nature of Raw achieves a more presentable format and storytelling.
