WWE Not Expected To Call Up NXT Talent To Main Roster Soon

Despite recent speculation about a potential move to Monday Night RAW, Nikkita Lyons is reportedly expected to remain in WWE’s developmental system for the time being.

According to a new report from Cory Hays of Flase Finish, WWE officials have been impressed with Lyons’ work since her return from injury. However, there are currently no plans for an immediate main roster call-up. Instead, Lyons is expected to continue appearing on both NXT and EVOLVE.

“False Finish has learned that WWE officials have been impressed with the work of Nikkita Lyons since her return from injury. However, Lyons is not expected to be headed to the main roster in the foreseeable future. Lyons will continue working in both EVOLVE and NXT.”

The update contrasts with earlier rumors that suggested Lyons could be headed to RAW sometime this summer. While those reports generated plenty of discussion among fans, the latest information indicates WWE is taking a more patient approach with the former NXT standout.

Lyons first arrived in WWE in late 2021 after spending two years with Women of Wrestling, where she competed under the name Faith the Lioness. She quickly attracted attention in NXT thanks to her unique presentation and athletic style before injuries interrupted her momentum.

In addition to competing at NXT live events, she has also appeared on WWE Main Event and featured on Season 3 of WWE LFG.
