NXT Call-Up Says WWE Star ‘Took Me In Like I Was Her Child’ Upon Main Roster Debut

WWE

A pair of recent NXT call-ups have revealed which locker room veteran took them under their wing on their first night on WWE’s main roster.

Current NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn recently appeared on Mark Andrews’ Love Letter to Wrestling podcast and explained what their first night on Smackdown was like, while also singling out one name for their support.

Fyre and Dawn explained:

Fyre: “I’m very nervous. Our first day at SmackDown, I was terrified and then I got in and I walked in through the women’s locker room. 

Dawn: “There were loads of people from NXT, people that I had never met before but they brought me in because like Tamina, I had met once. She immediately took me in like I was her child…”

Fyre: “Everybody is just so welcoming and so genuinely happy and genuinely supportive of us that it’s just made it easier for us to step into it.”

Despite Fyre and Dawn being very early in their main roster careers they are already set for a massive main-event calibre match on the June 23 edition of Smackdown.

The current NXT Women’s Tag Champions will put their titles on the line in a unification match against current WWE Women’s Tag Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.

This latest decision comes following an increase in integration of NXT talent and main roster talent, something that was outlined as a deliberate strategy from WWE CEO Nick Khan.
