8 Last Minute WWE Draft Rumors You Need To Know
5. Nia Jax To Be Called-Up?
We already know that six NXT acts will find their way to the main roster as part of tonight’s draft, and if the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer is to be believed, the developmental call-ups will consist of two women and four men.
According to Meltzer, one woman is all but guaranteed, and it’s not who you think it is:-
"There’s two women coming up - Nia Jax and I don’t know who the other one is."
Despite being portrayed as a dominant powerhouse throughout her tenure, Jax has been unsuccessful in her two attempts at capturing the Women’s Championship, first from Bayley, then Asuka. She might not be the finished article in the ring, but if she’s not going to win the belt, there’s little left for her to do at the Performance Centre, and she has a unique look and skillset that’ll help her immediately stand-out on the main roster.
If drafted, there’s a strong chance that Nia will show-up at Battleground as Sasha Banks’ mystery tag team partner against Charlotte and Dana Brooke. Jax, who has family ties to Roman Reigns and The Rock, only debuted in NXT last October. It would be a remarkably quick turnaround for someone who is still very early on her development curve as a performer.
