WWE divided its roster into five storyline divisions – referred to as brands where wrestlers exclusively performed on their respective weekly television programs. Raw and SmackDown were their two main brands until NXT became their third main brand in September; NXT used to serve as WWE's developmental territory. NXT UK and 205 Live were specialty brands that were promoted under the NXT banner; 205 Live was its own brand until September when it merged under NXT.
