How about an NXT Invasion of Raw?

When Hunter takes over, maybe we'll see something like this. I don't see Vince attempting to do this at all.

Noooo!
Actually I had the feeling they may be sowing the seeds of that angle while watching Raw as there was a NXT streak running through the show (not just Owens but Neville vs Bo and Big E saying "five"), however that was probably all just to help sell the importance of Unstoppable.
Anyway I don't think they'd do a full invasion as it would probably harm the losing side and cause too many arguments backstage.
However I could see see HHH bringing in Owens and Charlotte (maybe somebody else too) to be his hand-picked stars.
At least that tension in The Authority between Seth/Owens and Charlotte/Steph would be better than Kane and Rollins bickering.

"Oh my god! Cena got powerbomed on the apron 3 times in a row!" "He's the only one left on this team, after Big Show turned his back on us!" "He's against Owens, The Demon Finn Bolar, Samoa Joe, Breeze and Sami Zayn"  RAPADOOOOOOOO! "Cena overcomes the odds!" "And look! The DX tank is aiming at Full Sail University! *DX tank blows it up* *fade to black*  |

YES, if only they let HHH book it.
It can be better than in 2010 because the people involved are more talented.
My Dream match would be.
Cena,DB,Shield vs Joe,Owens,Itami,Neville and Zayn.

Even though the NXT guys would be way more talented than the original Nexus, I'm scared it would go the same route.

Question for the OP.
Do you not like NXT? Do you want the NXT roster to be ruined forever? Because that's what would happen.

It's a nice idea, but I'm not sure how it'd work booking-wise. NXT is officially canon to the main roster, meaning feuds carry over between the shows. So why would say Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, & Tyler Breeze all team up with each other in an invasion?

I don't think NXT has enough top tier guys to pull off an invasion, even 5-6 isn't really much (Joe, Owens, Zayn, Itami, Balor, Breeze, Insert name here), I guess you could augment it with guys from NXT, like Bo, Neville, and even the Wyatts and Shield, but I dont see that happening. They've also sorta done it twice already, Nexus and Shield were basically invaders. I guess they could go bigger and include (and would need to include) the women and some guys lower on the totem pole, but you'd need to have a decent enough sized force for the invasion to make it work and there are many green guys in NXT who would just be fed to the wolves once the dust settled.
I also feel that you pretty much have to have NXT go over in this sort of thing because if they just come in and get ramrodded by Cena, Show and guys who've been there for 10+ years, it doesnt help anyone if they crawl back to NXT after the invasion and show up a year later on Raw. I don't think Vince would want that. You also want to keep NXT strong for after the invasion, so its important not to completely dilute NXT by taking everyone with a real chance of making it on the main roster out.
I think what they're doing now and hopefully continue doing by debuting certain guys sporadically with an exact idea on how to utilize them on the main roster is the way to go. Maybe they've learned from their usage of some guys who haven't had much of an impact so far.

I would do a short term thing where some NXT heels (Owens, Breeze, Blake & Murphy, Corbin, Sasha) invade Raw and then main roster heels invade NXT (Rusev, Barrett, New Day, Sheamus, & Naomi).
It leads to a 2 day WWE Network special Present vs. Future:
Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler (Owens goes over)
Tyler Breeze vs. R-Truth (Breeze goes over)
Blake & Murphy vs. Cesaro & Kidd (Cesaro & Kidd go over)
Baron Corbin vs. Ryback (Da Big Guy goes over)
Sasha Banks vs. Nikki Bella (Sasha goes over)
Rusev vs. Samoa Joe (Joe goes over)
New Day vs. Enzo & Big Cass (New Day goes over)
Sheamus vs. Finn Balor (Sheamus goes over)
King Barrett vs. Sami Zayn (Zayn goes over)
Naomi vs. Bayley (Bayley goes over)
Basically, I would even things out. I know it may upset people that Sheamus would go over Balor, but I wanted at list one of the bigger WWE names to win. I also didn't want to use talent that were mainstays in NXT (Paige, Ascension, Lucha Dragons, Neville, etc) nor did I want to use the guys considered main eventers in WWE (Cena, Orton, Rollins, Reigns, etc) just because you know Vince wouldn't want them to lose clean nor would I want most of NXT top guys to lose. I know Ziggler would do the job and make Owens look a million bucks in the process. Baron Corbin can afford to lose to Ryback and the match makes sense.

So why would say Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, & Tyler Breeze all team up with each other in an invasion? Finn Balor's demon takes him over and tells him to destroy the main roster. Owens already has a problem with John Cena and goes along with it as long as he's promised that he'll be the one to end Cena. They then tell Breeze that Orton called him ugly. |

what about an invasion the other way round? Some guys not too high on the totem pole in WWE invade NXT paranoid that they are going to take there place

Uh, that wouldn't be an invasion. Also, I think some people don't understand the concept of NXT. If WWE wanted these guys on the main roster right away, NXT wouldn't exist.
I love NXT just as much as the next guy, but it's a developmental system, not a "brand" in the sense of the brand split or separate company.

It's still the developmental system but it's more than that. |

No, because the old guard of WWE will inevitably be booked as the "good guys"
