What WWE's Money in the Bank card says about the company's development of future superstars
The Money in the Bank card is filled with major matches and WWE superstars, both who are rising through the roster and those who are already established.
Looking deeper, there’s one thing that stands out among the more than two dozen wrestlers who will be involved in the matches – the NXT brand.
NXT is billed as WWE’s developmental brand.
It’s a way for those who either don’t know the art of professional wrestling to get hands-on training or those who don’t know the television side of the business to ingratiate themselves before, hopefully, moving to the Raw or SmackDown brands.

The outliers include Roman Reigns, who got his start in Florida Championship Wrestling, which came before NXT was founded, and CM Punk, who made his mark outside the WWE before making his way to WWE’s Ohio Valley Wrestling.
Penta never competed in NXT either.
He became a legend in Mexico before receiving substantial face time on American programming.
Everyone else got their feet wet in NXT, whose show takes place at the WWE Performance Center.
The Money in the Bank card underscores how far WWE has come in creating the superstars of tomorrow in NXT.
"The Performance Center is a very special place," women’s U.S. champion Jacy Jayne told OutKick Dropkick.
"I feel like they, well, not I feel, I know they have the best coaches in the world.
There's a coach that can help you with literally everything.
There's someone for everybody.
