They’re up! WWE has all kinds of stars on its roster but some of them are at different levels than others. There are several stars who are still down in the NXT developmental system, trying to make it up to the main roster. It can mean a lot for a star to get the promotion, and this week several of them did just that in one night, with many more possibilities still to come.

WWE has completed the first half of its 2023 Draft, with several wrestlers changing shows on both SmackDown and the SmackDown Low Down. This included seven NXT stars, six of whom were drafted to specific shows and one who is listed as a free agent. Here are the picks so far:

SmackDownAlba Fyre/Isla Dawn (NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions)

Monday Night RawIndi Hartwell (NXT Women’s Champion)Apollo CrewsJD McDonaghZoey Stark

Free AgentVon Wagner

There are other names to be drafted on Monday Night Raw, though it is not clear which NXT stars will be eligible.

Opinion: That is a heck of a group of talent to come up to the main roster, but it is also going to open up a lot of holes in NXT. Things could be shaken up in a lot of ways, but now the question is who takes those places on the NXT roster. At the same time, there are going to be a lot of new faces on the main roster. That is what the Draft can do for WWE and it has done the trick very well with these seven names so far.

What do you think of the moves? Which new name will have the most success on the main roster? Let us know in the comments below.
