This is according to Dave Meltzer, who, on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, noted that the duo are among the names being discussed.

Both wrestlers were victorious at TakeOver: XXV last Saturday. For Baszler, triumph meant dominating a game Io Shirai en route to retaining her NXT Women's Championship. Cole, meanwhile, as able to single-handedly defeat Johnny Gargano in a rematch of their acclaimed TakeOver: New York clash, becoming NXT Champion for the first time in the process.

NXT call-ups have become a difficult issue over the past few years. While wrestling fans used to look forward to seeing how their favourite developmental prospects would fare on Raw or SmackDown, a long string of failed "promotions" has changed everything, with many now dreading the day Full Sail's brightest and best hit the main roster. As such, news that Cole and Baszler could be brought up may inspire dread.

Regardless, these two are easily amongst NXT's most main roster-ready wrestlers, with 'The Queen Of Spades' particularly ready to move on after two long, dominant title runs.
