Details On Xia Li Getting A Big Push And WWE Wanting More International Stars
May 27, 2021 | Posted by
On this past week’s episode of WWE NXT, a feud was hinted at between Xia Li and Mercedes Martinez after a marking related to Xia appeared on the arm of Martinez. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, this is part of plans to continue a big push for Xia as WWE is hoping to push more international stars, particularly Chinese stars.
According to Dave Meltzer, there’s a “big movement” within the company to have international stars for certain markets. For example Mansoor is their star for Saudi Arabia, Jinder Mahal is getting another push because of India and Xia Li is getting a push for the market in China. So the feud with Martinez is because Martinez is a veteran and is there to help ‘season’ Xia.
