Rumour: Two Huge NXT Names Being Drafted To The Main Roster?

Rumour: Two Huge NXT Names Being Drafted To The Main Roster?

On this week’s SmackDown and next week’s RAW, the latest WWE Draft will take place, with wrestlers moving between brands in an attempt to pop a good TV rating, sorry, I mean in an attempt to keep the product fresh and engaging.

There has been a lot of speculation as to whether anyone from NXT will be involved in the draft, with Triple H himself admitting he wasn’t aware whether the black and yellow brand would be involved after Sunday’s TakeOver show.

Despite this, it seems two of NXT’s biggest stars may well be set for a move to either Monday or Friday nights, as it’s been rumoured by many, including Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, that husband and wife duo Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae are set for a call-up.

Both have previously appeared on main roster shows, including the Royal Rumble, but this would be the first permanent main roster move for both of them if they were to be called up.

The speculation started after both lost their respective title matches at NXT TakeOver 31, with Gargano coming up short against North American Champion Damian Priest, and LeRae losing to NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai.

If they are called up, let’s hope there is actually a plan in place, and that it’s not just another NXT call-up simply for the sake of it. You can definitely argue that Gargano at least has done everything he can in NXT, having won all possible titles (Cruiserweight Championship not included), so perhaps now is the right time.

Would you like to see Gargano and LeRae on the main roster? Let us know in the comments.
