It’s time for WWE to shake things up once again as the annual WWE Draft is set to kick off tonight on Friday Night SmackDown. It’s probably safe to say that some interesting moves will be made, and it’s also likely that fans will see some NXT stars get called up as well.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the leading candidates to get called up to the main roster are Dakota Kai, Aliyah and Xia Li.
“Nobody knows but those in the company were of the belief Dakota Kai, Aliyah and Xia Li were the leading candidates among the women, particularly because WWE wants a legitimate Chinese star in the market after the success UFC had in that market when Zhang Weili became a champion.”
Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast is also reporting that Hit Row and LA Knight are names that have been discussed for potential main roster call ups.
Stay tuned for updates.
