3. Fresh Faces Should Help Spruce Up Raw

New superstars are staples of the WWE and pro wrestling in general, and that has been a way of wrestling life forever.  That’s the lifeblood of sports in general and sometimes, new talent can single handily change the course of whatever team they join, and in this case, what roster they join.

Raw has been struggling mightily lately, that’s well-documented at this point.  Fans have been understandably frustrated with the red brand over the past few months with a lot of the frustration being attributed to staleness.  So, what better way to feel fresher than introducing fresh faces to help spruce things up?  That is exactly what will happen very soon.

It was announced last night that several standout NXT superstars will soon be debuting on the main roster, primarily Monday nights.  Some of the new faces include Nikki Cross, Lars Sullivan, Lacey Evans, Heavy Machinery, and EC3 and these superstars will be making their main roster debut in the near future on both Raw and SmackDown.  Not only that, but a couple of vignettes were shown last night signaling the pending return of two key superstars on Monday nights.

Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have both been out with injury over the past few months, but it was announced that they will be making their return to Raw soon.  These new superstars, plus the return of two other key superstars, should drastically help out the red brand no matter which of these new superstars end up on Raw opposed to SmackDown.

Regardless of who ends up where, fresh faces and returning faces are keys to newfound success on Monday nights.
