Possible Spoiler On Top NXT Superstars Moving To Main Roster
According to the PWInsider reports, WWE is planning to call top NXT superstars to main roster after NXT New Year’s Evil. It was former NXT North American Champion Damian Priest and former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley.
The report stated that NXT New Year’s Evil was the final appearance of Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest, and will be moved to main roster. But things always changed based on the thoughts of Vince McMahon.
At NXT New Year’s Evil, Damian Priest lost to Karrion Kross and Rhea Ripley lost to Raquel Gonzalez in Last Woman Standing Match. As per the reports, there losses are came as a part of idea to end of their NXT Chapters and shift to main roster. But there is no word yet on which brand they will be moving.
“The current belief is that last night’s New Year’s Evil broadcast was planned to be the final NXT appearances for Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest and they each will be shifted to the main roster. While things can always change based on the whims of Vince McMahon, Priest’s loss to Karrion Kross and Rhea’s loss to Raquel Gonzalez were devised with the idea those were the end of the NXT chapters of their career.”
It was also reported by Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Damian Priest was scheduled to debut on last week’s Smackdown as Kevin Owens best friend to involve in his feud with Roman Reigns and Jey Uso.
WWE also planned tag team match between them but all plans were dropped as Owens stated that it doesn’t make sense him to be his best friend. Roman Reigns also agreed with Owens and the plans were cancelled.
“So, they had a story where it was supposed to be Damian Priest is Kevin Owens’ best friend and he’s helping him against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. In fact they were even gonna do a tag match on the show Friday night. And Damian Priest is there and ready and all that, and Kevin Owens essentially said ‘it makes no sense for him to be my best friend. What do we have in common? Why would he be my best friend? I mean we could do it but, why is he my best friend?'” (H/T: WrestleTalk)
