6 Major NXT Stars Set For WWE Call-Ups After WrestleMania 34

Brace yourselves for post-WrestleMania call-ups...

WrestleMania 34 is still more than six weeks away, but if Twitter user @SliceWrestling is to be believed, WWE are already preparing several major NXT stars for main roster call-ups after the big event.

Their names? Current NXT Champion Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Women's Champ Ember Moon, along with Johnny Gargano, The Authors Of Pain, and Drew McIntyre, who's injured at the moment, but should have recovered by 'Mania weekend.

The title-holders would likely need to shed their gold first, but with rumours pointing towards Almas vs. Aleister Black and Moon vs. Shayna Baszler at TakeOver: New Orleans, that wouldn't be an issue. It's tough to argue any of these wrestlers' credentials: each is well-equipped to play a big role on either Raw or SmackDown, and their call-ups could feature as part of a new draft.

While it's important to acknowledge that this is only a rumour, the same Twitter account has been broken a number of scoops in the past. On top of this, the list of names isn't exactly a stab in the dark, as several have been linked with a main roster spot over the past few months.
