When it comes to professional wrestling, NXT is the place to be for up and coming stars. WWE’s developmental brand has helped wrestlers take their careers to new heights, and several stars have graduated from NXT and found success on the main roster.
Hideo Itami was recently called up from NXT, and he officially joined the main roster this week.
Fans who are hoping to see more stars get called up soon will likely be disappointed, as it’s expected that we won’t be seeing any more call ups until after WrestleMania 34 in April.
So who could be getting promoted to the main roster in the next wave of call ups?
CageSideSeats notes that the five names who are rumored to be in line for call ups include No Way Jose, Authors of Pain and Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.
It’s certainly no surprise to see that Authors of Pain are rumored for the main roster, as there was a lot of speculation about them possibly getting called up after they dropped the NXT Tag Team Titles.
Authors of Pain would definitely be a good addition to the tag team division on either Raw or SmackDown Live, and it’s not hard to see how Billie Kay and Peyton Royce could make an impact as well.
Who do you want to see get called up next? Sound off in the comments below.
i love no way jose, but like tye and a few others, he’ll be on a missing carton very fast on the ‘main roster’ imho…. i don’t think anyone would know how to deal with his gimmick. Heck I think that is why he’s rarely seen now, he’s great at getting people pumped and awesome in the ring but at isn’t exactly enough to survive sadly
“Fans who are hoping to see more stars get called up soon will likely be disappointed”…. we just got 6 call ups within the last month (Riott Squad, 2 members of Absolution and Itami)
