Backstage News On NXT Call-Ups, WWE High On Bobby Roode, More

As we noted earlier this summer, another Superstar Shakeup is in the works after SummerSlam, with PWInsider reporting that WWE was looking to have two shakeups per year instead of one big draft.

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Bobby Roode is expected to be moving to the main roster after losing his NXT Championship to Drew McIntyre at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III last night. WWE officials are "super high" on Roode right now, and he is expected to be in the top 5 on whichever brand he is moved to. Meltzer added that WWE has been wanting him on "the main roster ASAP."

Shelton Benjamin recently signed with WWE and has been rumored to be joining the SmackDown brand.

Other talent rumored to be heading to the main roster include Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, No Way Jose and The Authors of Pain.
