1) Two Possible NXT Call-Ups
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE is planning to call up two Superstars from NXT to the main roster.
Those Superstars are Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. Here is what Johnson wrote:
As we discussed on last night’s NXT Post-Game Audio for Elite subscribers, the current belief is that last night’s New Year’s Evil broadcast was planned to be the final NXT appearances for Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest and they each will be shifted to the main roster. While things can always change based on the whims of Vince McMahon, Priest’s loss to Karrion Kross and Rhea’s loss to Raquel Gonzales were devised with the idea those were the end of the NXT chapters of their career.
My Take:
- Rhea seems like a no-brainer to me. I think that she is ready to make the jump to either RAW or Smackdown. There are plenty of great matches waiting for her. As for Priest, I am interested to see how he does on the main roster. I have liked what I have seen so far from him but I am not sure how he will be booked.
