Updated WWE Roster 2023: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK

Updated WWE Roster 2023: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK

Views: 148766 | Updated On: | By Jitu Jangir



In 2021, WWE boasted a workforce of more than 800 full-time employees who operate its business operations in addition to collaborating with various vendors and service providers. WWE refers to their performers as "independent contractors", with contracts spanning from brief developmental to multi-year agreements.

Since the reintroduction of WWE's brand extension in 2016, performers have been designated to one of two primary "main roster" brands, namely Raw and SmackDown. Furthermore, the third brand – NXT – was originally deemed a developmental brand for the main roster. However, in 2019, it was elevated to the third main roster brand. Nonetheless, in 2021, the brand's weekly television show was revamped as "NXT 2.0", and it reverted to its original status as the developmental division for the main roster (Raw and SmackDown), although it has since discarded the "2.0" nomenclature.



Main roster performers primarily feature on Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, while developmental wrestlers appear on NXT, and its ancillary show NXT: Level Up. WWE's Main Event program – while primarily a Raw brand supplementary show – also occasionally features NXT wrestlers.

Performers may also make appearances on WWE's other weekly television programming, pay-per-views, and untelevised live events. Personnel in WWE's developmental system are also assigned to train at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, while UK-based developmental wrestlers train at the UK Performance Center in London, England.

The brands possess their own distinct championships, but some select titles are shared among various brands, such as the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Since 2022, while preserving their individual lineages, the WWE and Universal Championships have been jointly defended on both brands as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, as have the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
