WWE Discussing Main Roster Call-Ups For Several NXT Stars


WWE is actively discussing main roster call-ups for several NXT talents following WrestleMania 42, with four names currently at the forefront of those conversations.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Ethan Page, Ricky Saints, Blake Monroe, and Jacy Jayne are among the names being heavily considered for promotion to Raw or SmackDown.

The discussions come with an important caveat. Lola Vice and Tony D'Angelo winning championships at NXT Revenge has reportedly removed both from call-up consideration for now. Vice captured the NXT Women's Championship while D'Angelo won the NXT Championship at the event, and title reigns typically signal that WWE intends to keep those performers in NXT for the foreseeable future.

Of the four names in consideration, Jayne has main roster experience, having previously competed on SmackDown as part of Toxic Attraction before returning to NXT. Page has been one of NXT's most established presences since arriving in the brand. Saints and Monroe represent newer talent being developed with a potential main roster future in mind.

Call-ups would likely occur with the post-WrestleMania roster shakeup, which typically takes effect in the weeks following WrestleMania as WWE reconfigures its programming heading into the spring and summer calendar. They would also start the build for the next PLE, Backlash, on May 9th in Tampa. 

WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
