6 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 18)
5. What Happened To Other NXT Call-Ups?
Triple H’s announcement to open Raw that four top NXT superstars would make their Raw debuts was huge news. Huge. And while it’s not entirely clear if they’re sticking around – two of them are singles champions in NXT – there was something else worth noting.
Whatever happened to the other NXT call-ups from just two months ago? WWE tried to make a big deal about Lacey Evans, Heavy Machinery, EC3 and Nikki Cross being called up to the main roster.
However, there was barely a peep from them Monday night – aside from a brief Heavy Machinery interview and Evans walk-by – which makes you wonder if they’ve already fizzled out and Vince McMahon has made the call to the NXT bullpen again for another group of wrestlers.
It’s really embarrassing in many ways, because WWE was seemingly responding to sagging ratings and a bland, stagnating product and injected new faces, but then apparently grew bored with them and pushed them to the side.
Prove this wrong, WWE.
