‘It’s Surreal, I’m On Such A High’ – WWE Star Addresses Main Roster Call-Up From NXT After WrestleMania 42

WWE

A WWE star says she’s still on “such a high” after being called up from NXT to SmackDown following WrestleMania 42.

Main roster call-ups are often some of the most exciting aspects of WWE’s post WrestleMania programming, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint in that regard.

Ethan Page, Joe Hendry, Sol Ruca and Joe Hendry all took their talents to WWE Raw, while SmackDown received Ricky Saints, Blake Monroe and Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.

Of the names who made a splash on Raw and SmackDown, it was arguably Fatal Influence who made the biggest immediate impression, as they collectively wiped out four legends of WWE’s women’s division in Paige, Brie Bella, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, before Jacy Jayne took on WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley in singles action.

The trio has remained a constant presence on SmackDown since, with Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid on the hunt for Paige and Brie Bella’s WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles and Jayne seeking to establish herself as a singles star.

Speaking with Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Fallon Henley admitted that she still feels like she’s in a dream after her move to SmackDown:

“I feel like I’m in a dream, it doesn’t necessarily feel real yet.

“I mean just the fact that I’ve been with WWE this still feels like a dream, but the fact I’m up on SmackDown (with) Paige, Brie Bella, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, all these names, it’s surreal. I’m on such a high.”

With Henley spending almost five years in WWE NXT before receiving her chance on the main roster, she admitted that she was going to be happy regardless of whether she ended up as a member of Monday Night Raw or SmackDown.

Citing the “immense amount of talent” on both shows as the reason why she didn’t mind which show she ended up on, Henley said:

“I think I was gonna be happy no matter where I went. Because on either brand you have immense amount of talent, so, I think in the future you can always go to Raw, you can always change, you can always go to the next place, so, I was happy wherever I was gonna go.”

Henley departed WWE NXT as a former WWE Women’s Speed Champion and NXT Women’s North American Champion, she also previously held the now defunct NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships with fellow SmackDown star Kiana James back in 2023.
