• Why Is Vince McMahon Calling Up Multiple NXT Wrestlers To The WWE Main Roster Right Now?
NXT wrestler Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox were called up to the WWE main roster last week on SmackDown.
On this week’s SmackDown, Finn Balor returned to the main roster. On next week’s episode, Toni Storm will make her official debut on the blue brand.
NXT Champion Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Bronson Reed, Xia Li and Aliyah are also rumored to get the main roster call up soon.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Vince McMahon has made the decision to call up all these NXT wrestlers due to ticket sales for upcoming WWE shows not being up to the mark:
“One person close to the situation noted exactly that, when the advances came in, Vince assessed it by saying there was nobody new, fresh or exciting on the roster and that’s when he went to NXT with the idea of freshening up the roster with new faces who would be pushed hard right out of the box.”
