More NXT stars could be headed to the WWE main roster shortly.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, there continues to be talk of WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler coming up from the developmental system to the main roster.
Meltzer noted that Baszler is “supposed to be geared” for a call-up as it’s believed she has everything they’re looking for, from her age to her look and her character.
As of this writing, there’s no word yet on when the call-ups might happen or which brands that they would be placed on whether that’s Monday Night RAW or SmackDown Live.
At Saturday’s (June 1, 2019) WWE NXT TakeOver: XXV event in Bridgeport, CT at the Webster Bank Arena, both stars were in action. Baszler beat Io Shirai in her latest title defense as NXT Women’s Champion while Cole beat Johnny Gargano to win the NXT Title in the main event.
The next pay-per-view event for the yellow brand that is titled, NXT TakeOver: Toronto, goes down on August 10, 2019 during SummerSlam weekend at the Scotiabank Arena.
Historically, WWE will call up NXT stars to the main roster after WrestleMania and SummerSlam.
